50+ Hours of Community Service (earning me Honors Community Service)</p>
<p>I didn’t play any sports this year, but I performed in the Spring Drama Production and wrote and acted for a school drama festival (which had to be written, practiced, and performed within 24 hours). This year, I also had one successful and two unsuccessful campaigns for student government. I was elected Ninth Grade Class Alternate Representative. My two unsuccessful campaigns were for Ninth Grade Vice President and School Treasurer.</p>
<p>This summer, I am going to volunteer at the hospital where my mom works, volunteer at the local library’s children’s section, be involved in the school play-readings, get Algebra II tutoring before I take the course, and I’m still in the process of convincing my parents to let me start taking glider plane lessons and get a student glider pilot’s certificate!</p>
<p>Even with a freshman year like this, could I still get into Brown University?</p>
<p>Also, here is what I plan on doing in my sophomore year:</p>
<p>My classes for next year are Algebra II, (Honors or Regular) Biology, AP World History, English II, (Honors or Regular) Spanish II, Introduction to Computer Science, and Concert Band.</p>
<p>Next year, I plan on getting Honors Community service again, joining some clubs that are of interest to me, running for the school Cross Country team, joining the Model UN team, joining the Model Congress team, joining the Euro Challenge team, wrestling for the school Wrestling team, working in the technical crew for the fall play, running for school government, perform in the spring play, and write and [act or stage manage] for the school drama festival. I may possibly join the Naval Sea Cadet Corps out of interest in the U.S. Navy. Next summer, I plan on going on a mission trip to Nicaragua, volunteering as a teen leader at my mom’s hospital, hopefully attending one of the National Student Leadership Conferences, hopefully getting a Private Glider Pilot’s license, possibly take a course at a community college, and hopefully attend the U.S. Naval Academy STEM Summer Program (The things for next summer are all subject to change).</p>
<p>Also, if I am lucky enough to get into Brown, I would want to enlist in the U.S. Navy Reserve and then go to Officer Candidate School to be commissioned as a Naval Aviator after graduation.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
