<p>I am a junior who is taking 3 AP and 4 Honors classes and I maintain a GPA of 4.8 out of 5.2. My class schedule for my senior year will be AP Calculus BC, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Physics, Spanish IV Honors, Pro-Start 2 (3rd year of Culinary class), Speech III Honors. My PSAT scores were low 70's across the board.</p>
<p>In the extra curricular department I am the President of our schools Gay Straight Alliance, I will be the Captain of the Speech team by my senior year, I am captain of one of the competitive Culinary Arts teams at our school, and I will be co-captain of the chess team (who took 3rd at Nationals last year), and I am in National Honors Society. I have been in all these clubs since I was a freshman, except for National Honors Society which I joined as a sophomore.</p>
<p>In the community/volunteer department, I have gone to and spoken at several anti-drug, anti-violence, and other types of marches. I volunteer at the animal shelter in the summer and have amassed about 150 hours of volunteer service. I have volunteered at the local soup kitchen as well for the past couple of years, especially during the holidays. I have helped to restore the clubhouse out by the golf course near where I live as well. Lastly I have been going to elementary school classrooms and teaching kids chess since the 9th grade.</p>
