+ Helping out at weekend Russian school my mom owns. 70 hours.
+ Part of the Young Democrats club at the Brookhaven democratic commitee. I basically volunteer by canvassing(door to door), phone banks and data entry to help elect Barack Obama. A trip to Pennsylvania is also possible, as it's the closest "battleground" state.
I've been doing this since mid August, 2-3 times a week until the election is over.Still haven't calculated the hours.
+ Planning to go study abroad during the summer after this year is over. The one program that interests me the most is at the University of Prague to take business/economics classes.</p>

<li>Ok this one is my gem of all EC's, I can definitely write a killer essay using this.
With my dad, I'm working on a non-profit "project"
We seek to create a service to help unerpriveleged children on Long Island. I am trying to be vague as possible as this is a pretty big idea and I do not wish to reveal all of it's contents before it is completely done.
We are launching it for this christmas, as the technical aspect is finished and I am working with local churches, orphanages, social workers in the county to draw interest etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is by far the best EC as it highlights many important qualities of mine (leadership, people skills, etc)</p>
<p>(sports)
+Varsity Tennis since 9th grade
All county for singles last year, and hopefully states this year.
I'm a registered USTA player, ranked in the top 20 on Long Island for my age group (16-18).</p>
