Extracurriculars (along with a description of each one):
- By the time I graduate high school, I would have been in my school's award-winning band for 4 years. I am planning to write one of my essays on how I transformed from hating the clarinet to absolutely loving it. I started off second to last chair in our lowest band (Concert Band) in my freshman year. Then, I moved up to third chair in our medium band (Symphonic Band), and in my junior year, I was last chair in Wind Ensemble. However, I did really well in the audition for Wind Ensemble, and during my senior year, I will be the section leader in our top group. I really want to talk about my journey to getting there. Also, I plan to continue doing band in college.
- By the time I graduate high school, I would have volunteered at an Elementary School program called Reading Partners for 4 years. I help elementary school kids (anywhere from 2nd to 4th graders) with their reading skills. I love this because I get to form bonds with my students, it is fun teaching them, and it feels amazing to watch your student/s improve with your guidance. I also would have volunteered two summers at a local organization which helps out the homeless. Overall, I would have at least 100 hours before applying for college.
- By the time I graduate high school, I would have been a CSF member for 4 years. I also would have been an NHS member for 4 years. These were the only two clubs I joined in high school, because I didn't really find any of the other clubs interesting.
- By the time I graduate high school, I would have been in cross country/track for 3 years (3 years XC, 2 years track). I was also the co-captain for XC in junior year, and I will be one of the captains for senior year. I couldn't do track and field in my junior year because of an injury, but I recovered, and I am currently training for my final xc season.
- I am also working towards an internship for a small business, by self-studying computer programming, java, etc. My dad was able to get me this internship by asking a friend, who is the CEO of the company. The CEO said that if I learn quickly, I will be able to actually become an intern there, which will hopefully occur before college apps. I plan to continue this internship until I graduate. Although this is not related to my major, I still think this internship is worth pursuing, because I have always wanted to learn computer programming, but I never had the time to do it on my own or take the class/s at school.
Other factors:
- I will be out of state for these schools.
- I won’t need financial aid.
- I haven’t officially decided my major yet.
