FOR EVERY PERSON ON CC: Combining Our Potential

Pre-College Issues High School Life
61

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>(if you're wondering, I'm the guy who started this thread)</p>

<p>For our first effort, we were thinking of fundraising for the earthquake victims in China. I've already played in two benefit concerts for this very cause and think it's a great way to get us started! </p>

<p>Also, I really like Ghandi's quote ("Be the change you wish to see in the world"), and think it should be our philosophy. </p>

<p>As for the website, I have very limited HTML knowledge (and suck at Dreamweaver), so if anyone would like to help us get started, that would be MOST appreciated. </p>

<p>I'll let you guys know when more updates come!</p>

62

<p>^ ttan that sounds like a great idea. i have some knowledge or website building and i will help. </p>

<p>yeah lets make use of CC in reality. Not just use it to mentally obsess ourselves with grdaes.</p>

63

<p>Hey ttan, I joined the group. I'm a little doubtful, but hey why not try, right?</p>

<p>PS: Go Washington!! :]</p>

64

<p>Seeing as how this will take effective leadership to get rolling, I'd like to see if anyone would like to an officer. For now, I'll be asking for the positions of VP, Secretary, and Website Designer. More will come later! </p>

<p>If you're interested, send me
1) Your name (first and last)
2) State
3) Grade
4) Two sentences about why you'd make a great leader. </p>

<p>Due a week from today! (the 20th) Hope to hear from you guys soon!</p>

<p>If you don't have my email, PM me!</p>

<p>Hey CCers!</p>

<p>VP and Secretary have been selected. More about them below:</p>

<p>Officers:</p>

<p>VP</p>

<p>1) Sushant Bhardwaj
2) Pennsylvania
3) Going into 11th
4) I would make a terrific leader because I am very experienced with voluntary programs. I volunteer at many hospitals across the city of Philadelphia (my hometown) and also teach children how to play tennis and chess through youth organizations. I would love to take a major roll in running an organization for once because I've always worked for them, now I would like to help run one.</p>

<p>Secretary</p>

<p>1) Ch</p>

66

<p>So when is this going to be on people's college applications?</p>

67

<p>whats the big plan here tho? running a website? mutual organizations or what? something that will go on college apps? lol</p>

68

<p>Shad Valley Program does this... each summer they take the smartest minds around the world and enroll them to discuss and create a project that will save the world in some way shape or form...</p>

<p>Im doing it this summer...</p>

<p>Anyways, ILL JOIN THIS ENDEAVOR!!!</p>

69

<p>I'm interested. Although i don't have facebook and don't exactly know what to do.</p>

70

<p>sounds cool..will this help on college apps lol</p>

71

<p>^ Depends on how much effort you put in. If we all work hard and make this successful, then this organization will get really big. Then it might be worth putting on college apps for some of you guys. Other than that, if this turns out to be a failure (hopefully not!), then it ll be one of those laundry list items. This WILL be successful since we are all brilliant. And yes, there are organizations out there who muster up all the stellar students and do a project. Let's try and break away from that type of thing and make this strictly student run, and unique.</p>

72

<p>I second that Sushant!</p>

<p>We should do that to put on college apps (even though, if it works, it will be a benefit). As I think we're all on this thread becuase we are interested in this kind of thing, I can only hope we'll have no big obstacle blocking the road. And even then, I'm sure we'll find a way to get though this. Let's work on it!</p>

73

<p>Suggestion: you guys could help get the US Public Service Academy on its feet.

<p>while you're at it, why not join the National Youth Council?

<p>who knows you guys might one day apply to it ;-)</p>

<p>Again, anyone who is interested.</p>

<p>For those of you who don't have facebook, PM me and I will tell you more about us! (since we are just beginning, some things are still not clear. But the other officers and I are hard at work towards focusing our aims!)</p>

75

<p>Hi guys!</p>

<p>I'm Ch</p>

76

<p>yup as aforementioned, the format is :
1) Name
2) State
3) Grade you're going into
4) Two sentences about why you would make an AWESOME leader</p>

<p>These apps will be due 2 weeks from now, Friday the 4th.</p>

77

<p>Can I use this as an EC on my application to HYPMC.</p>

78

<p>Well, you can if you do something signifiant in the group. I mean, if you just say "I'm in!", it would probably mean nothing on your app. I encourage you to submit an application for treasurer or for one of the regional presidents- they're positions of leadership, so you might be able to put it in your college apps.</p>

<p>Hope I could help you!</p>

79

<p>yeah i said the same thing earlier. You can put it on ure apps, but i doubt it will help unless you do something significant.</p>

80

<p>Bumping this thread up in case of people who are looking for applying to the new available positions at the last moment. (Please don't apply for Treasury as I want it! :P) That was a joke obviously, I'm guessing the charity wants as many qualified people as possible!</p>
