<p>I only have one club that I've actually stuck with in school (Forensics). But I didn't apply for a leadership position because I started late in my sophmore year and last year I only had the time to go to three meetings/ 2 competitions. My other ECs were volunteering in the hospital and at chinese school. At chinese school, exec board positions are given to those with seniority, and I had only been there for 2 years, while the majority of the exec board had been on there for 3-4 years. I was a TA there for 1 year, but IDK if that counts as leadership or not. At the hospital, there is no such thing as leadership unless you're an adult and hired to work there. The only other ECs I have are poetry (bc when you semi-final in poetry competitions you get published in an anthology), art, embroidery, and music (violin, piano, and guitar). And I self-taught myself everything except piano the basics in violin. I don't take lessons anymore but I still self teach myself piano and guitar...I think my ECs are weak, and I have a friend who's trying to see if she can get me on the FBLA leadership board bc even though I'm a new member, the advisor knows me pretty well. I also had a lot of meetings with the principal about starting Mock Trial (but never happened due to budget constraints...and that a lot of our potential advisors quit this year...) and a penpal system with another school. The penpal idea had been approved, but the principal said he had to talk to other schools first.
I guess I'm just wondering if my lack of leadership will hurt me more than what my ECs can make up.</p>
