<p>My biggest regret was not getting involved till my sophomore year, but I was in Mock Trial freshmen year. I plan on staying in and pursuing a larger role for my senior year in all of the clubs. In Key Club, I'm trying to decide if I want to run for a club officer or Lt. Gov (district position). I was also briefly a part of the Beta Club, but the sponsor left midway through the year.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars I plan to join or start this year:
School Advisory Council
National Honor Society (Upperclassmen Required, plan on running for VP)
Spanish Honor Society (Co-Founding this with Spanish Pres. and VP)
Boys State, if I'm accepted</p>
<p>And I may go for Tennis this year and senior year, and Golf senior year (Had a really bad game at try outs). I'm considering attempting to get a spot on the school board. Perhaps find a job or internship in a local law firm or in finance. I still am undecided as to major or what career I will pursue.</p>
<p>My problem seems to be with standardized testing. And the fact that I can't run for Class President or SGA Officers/Senators or else I get stuck into the SGA Leadership Class.</p>
<p>Colleges that I've thought about are EA Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, and University of Florida. But if anyone can recommend any schools that would be great.</p>
<p>Any advice will be really greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.</p>
