I’m nervous about the genuine nature of my app because a lot of my service I discovered during my gap year and I found a real passion for it, especially for the homeless. I don’t want it to seem like I’m just doing stuff for an app. My college life was really overwhelmed by research, so when I got out of college I had more time to explore and experience other things. Any suggestions on how to share my story also welcome.
