Writing my personal statement

So I have decided what I will talk about in my personal statement. I will mention how I was not born here and how it was difficult to learn English then use that to explain my poor VA and RC scores. Then I will move on and explain that I had some financial troubles when I first started college and I was only able to take on class at time. Here is my question. I am currently a dual enrolled student, at my community college. So, I go to HS and College at the same time... I am not sure if i should mention this. The biggest reason why I could not volunteer or try to get any pharmacy experience is because I was working and going to college and going to HS at same time. I am proud of myself for starting college at an early age, but this does not seem like how the adcoms would see it as. I do not want to raise the question of maturity in the interview. Will they see it as positive thing or negative thing? Is it worth mentioning? I assume they would notice I haven't graduated from HS yet since I put 2015 as my graduating year from HS in pharmcas.

You HAVE to mention the fact that you are doing HS and college at the same time as I think adcoms will see this fact on your school transcripts anyway.

And you should mention it. I see this can turn into a positive point on your application and personal essay. The fact that you are determined to apply for pharmacy schools this early can attest to your level of maturity and commitment. I would definitely mention that.

Thank you for the reply. What do you mean they will see it on the transcript? I read on the pharmcas website that I can not send my HS transcript to pharmcas.
