I did a science (group) competition about research (international) and got two awards related to science engagement in my community

Extracurriculars
Track and field: I did it though all high school, won a second place in a national
During relays (4 x 100) I was kind of the leader. I trained by myself and spend a lot of summers training.
Science research: I was a member (kind of a leader - unofficial)
I spend a lot of hours at this, but only did it for a year.
Event organizer: I help organize two events, one virtual and another in person
About 400-500 people attended the virtual event from all around the country. I was a member overall, but we divided the work in teams and I was part of two teams, for one I was a member and a leader of another team. I did this two years, and I think I might do it this year
Student representative:
I was elected as one of the 10 representatives of my prom. We (all the student representatives) did a lot of activities, like mental health talks, integration for proms, etc.
I did community service here and there. I organized a food collection and help with an audiobook.
