-Internship for congresswoman from my state starting junior year and into senior year. She has recently been getting a lot of national and international attention and has been making a lot of waves. The internship was originally unpaid. However, since many students involved in the internship are low-income students from the local state university (I am the only highschooler), I spearheaded efforts to make the internship a paid opportunity. I got testimonies from all my peers and helped craft a letter to the congresswoman, asking for reimbursement and steady pay for our work. I am happy to say that our efforts worked out. (2 yrs)

Recs: AP English professor. Got a B+ First semester, but she REALLY likes me. She knows the B+ was only due to my struggles with timed writing, as those were the only assignments I did poorly on, so she will likely go to bat for me
Calc Professor: Loves me, straight up said I am the best student in the class and one of the best calculus students she’s ever had
Additional Rec: Editor in chief of the newspaper in India I work for. He used to be a Harvard Professor, and is lowkey very famous.
