<p>Extracurriculars/clubs (no real order):
-Journalism (7-12). Our newspaper is literally one of the best newspapers in the entire country. I'm one of the best- if not the best- writer on our paper. Right now, I'm assistant editor of the features section, but I should be editor-in-chief or at least managing editor next year. My columns are published in the local paper and I shadowed the editor-in-chief of a regional paper over the summer. I went to journalism camp since 8th grade, and. I've gotten awards for my writing.
-Debate Team (11-12). Just was formed, not actually at my school but one of the counselors at my debate camp is the captain thingy for it, so I'm joining it.
-French Society (10-12), President and Founder. We organize a bunch of funlicious activities and charity stuff.
-Debate Camp (10-12). Two weeks, day camp. We don't have a debate team at my school. I'm going form either that or a Politics Club (latter= less work).
-National Honors Society (11-12), Cum Laude chapter.
-DECA (11-12). It's a business thing. We have a pretty good team.
-IMPACT (9-12). Charity stuff.
-Varsity Gymnastics (9). (hellzz yeah...?)
-Assistant directed youth theatre (froshie year, age limit of involvement).</p>
<p>Volunteer:
-Young Women for Change (10-12). Had a fundraiser and made $5,000 for a local women's charity.
-SOAR Tutoring (10-12). Once a week, I tutor low-income Detroit pre-schoolers in reading and writing.
-Sunrise Assisted Living (11-12). Bingo calluh!
-I need to do more soup kitchen-y stuff, don't I?</p>
<p>Honors:
-Best Affirmative Speech, Highest Overall Score at Debate Camp
-Third Place in Column Writing from MIPA
-Pacemaker, Columbia Gold Crown on our paper (highest honor a high school newspaper can get)
-I will have around 2903840 awards by the end of this year for writing stuff, so pretend that they're all here for your scrutinizing</p>
<p>Job:
-Bagger at Kroger (11-whenever I get fired/quit in an angry storming out-way, 15 hours a week). </p>
<p>Essay:
-Will blow everyone's minds</p>
<p>Recommendations:
-One of them will be my journalism teacher, who loves me. Other one will prolly be AP Euro, who also loves meh.
-HS counselor helped out my older sister is a bit of a shall we say... heroin addict. Not sure if that will play in, but it should be a pretty good recommendation.</p>
<p>What are my chances? Do remember I'd be a little less immature with the admissions officers. Thanks guys!</p>
