<p>Subjective:
Extracurriculars:
Speech & Debate (all four years)-Captain, ranked top 10 in the nation in my event, team is ranked top 10 in nation, tons of awards and leadership-my biggest extracurricular. I've dedicated over 3000 hours coaching and mentoring underclassmen, training judges, leading my squad by running weekly meetings, after school practices, working on speeches and delivery, etc.</p>
<p>National Art Honor Society (sophomore year-now)-President, completely transformed club from small group of kids to large organization with over 60 active members and counting. Developed and launched a weekly educational art program at the local elementary school and created opportunities for high-schoolers to volunteer as well as improve the community through mural painting, school-wide art events, a gallery night to showcase work, etc.</p>
<p>Amnesty International (junior to now)-Secretary, we petition against human rights violations and send aid to countries in distress as well as give out micro-loans to lift men and women out of poverty. This year I am helping launch an initiative to educate our school about current international issues and what students can do to help by setting up tabling stands in the cafeteria and encouraging school-wide participation in our efforts.</p>
<p>National English Honor Society- co-founder and VP, providing free tutoring and editing services to students as well as collecting, packaging, and donating magazines for local Magazine Literacy organizations.</p>
<p>National Honor Society- Book Drive Committee Chair. Basically I organize and run periodic used book drives to sell books at low cost to students. Other volunteer work includes helping with Relay for Life and our annual Harvest Food Drive.</p>
<p>I serve on the Congressional Youth Cabinet for our local congressman.</p>
<p>I co-founded Yoga Club last year if that's even worth mentioning, I'm trying to get it back up and running this year because it was a pretty cool way to encourage students to be healthy and provided an outlet to de-stress.</p>
<p>I'm also starting a school newspaper with my friend this year since we haven't really had one for a long time. It's in the works and our first issue should be out in a few weeks or so. I'm overseeing content and layout and specifically focusing on producing an event calendar as well as some preliminary articles until we get regular submissions that I can edit and publish.</p>
<p>Job/Work Experience: Journalist for a local Pulitzer-Prize winning news publication. I write and edit articles. I also serve on the Editorial Board, collaborating on and discussing future themes, assignments, etc.</p>
<p>Summer Activities: 3 years of debate camp, STARTALK Russian Language Institue (NSA sponsored program to promote education of languages critical to national security) I've been self-studying Russian for quite some time now.</p>
<p>Volunteer/Community service: Volunteered at local children's art museum for the past four years, over 350 hours. I was also a 2x designer for the Annual Recycled Fashion Show, which raised over $80,000 for the museum's at-risk youth programs and was featured in the local news.</p>
<p>Essays: Haven't written them yet, but they should be pretty good. I have to be really creative with them at this point because I'm worried nothing else stands out atm.</p>
<p>Recs: Should be decent to good. Haven't read them so I honestly have no idea. </p>
