<p>Actually, I want to add some more stuff now that I’ve seen what everyone else posts on here.</p>
<p>I go to a not-so-great suburban public high school with about 2200 students.</p>
<p>I was a member of the 2012 all-county scholar bowl team, which made it to the semifinals at the Florida state competition.</p>
<p>APs: Human Geography (5), Biology (5), American History (5), Psychology (5), English Language (5), Environmental (4), World History (4).</p>
<p>Senior Schedule: Digital Design I, AP Chem, AP Spanish, Debate IV, AP Lit, AP Gov/Econ H, AP Calc AB</p>
<p>I volunteer teaching art classes to kids at a local art center.</p>
<p>I have had the highest GPAs in the English and Social Studies departments at my school for the last two years.</p>
<p>I won first place at the 2012 MUN competition at UF in IAEA, and fourth place at CMUNCE at Columbia in a weird crisis committee. My responsibilities for MUN include data entry, logo and t-shirt design, social media organization, and helping out new members, and it takes a TON of time. I help organize mock committees, edit position papers, and hold workshops on the various ins and outs of MUN. I am also in charge of making sure that all seventy of our members submit papers and payments on time and correctly. We are a relatively new program, but we are one of the best public school MUN programs in the country, and we travel all over the country for competitions, and I am so proud of everything we as a club have been able to achieve in the past few years. </p>
<p>The paper I mentioned above is for a regional Laureate program they have where I live. I have been working on this paper for the past three years, and it is basically a compilation of research on the links between celiac and the symptoms of autoimmune disease. The premise of my paper is that celiac disease and beta casein enteropathy can present as various autoimmune disorders because of nutritional and genetic factors that cause the disease to mimic the symptomology of anything from MS to fibromyalgia. I also put a lot of time into this. </p>
<p>I have been a member of my school’s XC team since freshman year, and have actually been a runner since I was eight. I had to quit cross country this year because of my disease; I just can’t run anymore without remembering how painful it used to be when I tried to run before my diagnosis. Running was always something I did because I loved it, but I can’t really say that anymore. I know it seems inconsistent of me to quit xc now in my last year of high school, but I completely stand behind my decision. I had to completely put that part of my life behind me, and letting go of xc was a part of that.</p>
<p>i don’t know if i’m forgetting anything…</p>
