<p>I'm not very involved with my other EC's because my sports take up sooooo much time.</p>
<p>does anyone know how to enter the AMC math competitions if your school isn't involved in the program???? =[</p>
<p>That's quite a lot. As of yet, I have two:
JV Volleyball (I'd like to be Varsity but I'm sure that's not going to happen this year.)
Editor of the School Newspaper (I'm going to be trained for the editor-in-chief (or whatever they're calling it at my school) position in the fall so that I might take over in the winter.)</p>
<p>I'm going to be a sophomore so I don't know all my EC's yet, but here are the ones im almost certain i'll have.</p>
<p>active HOSA member and probably will at least get state in the nutrition competition; i got close last year.
250 volunteer hours at a hospital ( i have 300 now )
JV golf if i make the team ( 20 people trying out with only a couple spots, and i just started 3 months ago )
Janitor at a hospital if i don't make the golf team lol
NHS, only because my school gives scholarships to members
Mission trip to help kids with cleft pallets - non religious.
HUGE German language competition- will probably receive a small award lol</p>
<p>I forgot, I might be doing NHS as well. People are inducted in December.</p>

That's funny, because my school only gives scholarships to "non-NHS, non-Beta Club" people... which is ridiculous. Their reasoning is - Those people are going to be sooooo smart that they'll already get tonssss of scholarships, so lets help out the "less fortunate" aka those that don't bother trying. Ugh.</p>
<p>lol NHS is one of those clubs where you can go to one meeting a year for 4 yrs and claim that you've participated in the club all 4 years of highschool</p>
<p>Actually it depends on the school. At my school, it's an amazing club where we actually do stuff, we have to attend like 20 meetings a year, and we do TONS of volunteer work that's actually interesting, and we did Habitat for Humanity. Plus it wasn't one of the "top half of the class" gets in kind of things. The prerequisites for our NHS are a 94+ average, like a million volunteer hours, and several leadership positions, then a teacher recommendation. After you have all that, you submit an application with the rec and you have to write essays etc. Only like 15 people are in it each year.</p>
<p>good for you^
well duh you have to have a certain GPA</p>
<p>INVENIAMVIAM-
That's basically how it is at my school too.
We aren't allowed to risk missing three meetings, or else we'll be kicked out. I enjoy it very much though.</p>
<p>^ Lol yeah we're not allowed to miss more than a few meetings either, but I love our NHS :]</p>
<p>Wow you guys have really strict NHS's. We need like a 3.5 GPA and some essays. I think like 10% of our school is in NHS lol.</p>
<p>Lol, but it bothers me that our NHS is such a big deal - only because it's not at other schools, so people stereotype NHS as being the club you only attend once a year and say you've been in it for 4 years [EatBreathmath lol...]. But I guess it's ok.</p>
<p>MPerfectionst: i know what that's like... I feel crappy when I'm not doing stuff lol. However, I don't accomplish ****.</p>
<p>Well, to answer your question jkim:
-continuing piano lessons, playing guitar. instruments count as long as it's not like a class in your school
-i might join Sci. Olympiad...
-science research... it's listed as a class but i'm seriously considering it as an EC since it's after school and takes so much time out of my schedule, x_x :P
-school newspaper, as both a writer and artist.. if i get in, though
-art editor for the poetry magazine
-volunteering at the red cross and this ambulance corps.</p>
<p>Do martial arts; of course it's an EC!</p>
<p>omg, megavortex, that music therapy thing sounds sick. lol i'm jealous.</p>
<p>^^^I concur. From the perspective of the students at my school, however, NHS is the club that only the "bright" people are admitted into. It's considered an honor, which is why students long to get in. </p>
<p>We have a quota to fill regarding community service hours. If a student doesn't reach 7 activities or 30 hours for the year, his/her membership is revoked. It can get quite irritating after awhile. Some of my friends couldn't run for positions because they were missing an hour or two.</p>
<p>^Phew, we've got to have 60 hours I think. It's tough.</p>
<p>This is what I'm planning on doing...
Key Club. French Club. Health Club. 50% chance of doing Track in '09. Volunteering with different things, and hopefully a hospital soon. Yearbook but that's in school. I think there were one or two more but I can't remember right now.</p>
