<p>ECs/Volunteering:
Ballet for 11 years at one studio: Accepted into top ballet schools in the nation to stay year round. Refused so I could study.
Internship at The Aerospace Corporation. I am the first high school student to be working with my particular mentor. He usually works with Graduate and PhD students. I'm doing a project a graduate level student would do, and after I'm done, I might get published depending on my results and how well I write my report.
Ballet: Teacher Assistant and Rehearsal Assistant because I am currently severely injured and unable to dance, but I wanted to be a part of the Nutcracker and I couldn't bare not being at the studio. Wrote my essay about this.
Captain: Ocean Science Bowl. Founding member as well.- 3 years
Co-Captain: Science Bowl-1 year
