<p>Extracirriculars:
I think my biggest thing is that I'm very committed to community work that focuses on children and the homeless population. I've been doing steady continuous work in homeless ministry, organizing various drives for homeless, and general public education about the homeless population through local organizations and on my own for about the last two years. I've been working with young children in free child care organizations for poor parents and other community camp programs for the last year. All together I have had about 450+ volunteer hours.</p>
<p>Debate team for all 4 years and co-captain for junior and senior years. I've won various champion, semi finalist, or quarter finalist awards from local tournaments, but nothing from the national circuit.</p>
<p>National honor Spanish society, national honor society, orchestra, and a school based tutoring action.</p>
<p>I'm very active in my church youth group and am part of the praise team and also leadership board. I have spent all or parts of my breaks from sophomore year on mission trips as well.</p>
<p>Finally, I'm pretty sure I made at least national merit semi finalist. I scored a 236 on the PSAT.</p>
