H!i I’m a freshman in High School in the chicago area and I would really like to go to HYP. I know that it is a really difficult accomplishment, which is why I’m making sure to start now and do things in and out of school that I am not only interested in, but will help me in achieving this goal! So, I was wondering if you guys have any advice to give me, or if there are any cool out of school programs around the Chicago area that I might be interested in. Thanks!
Some info:
African American
1st Generation American (African)
1st Generation College Student
(I used to live in the southside of Chicago until I was 3. However, since I moved out when I was young I don’t think that it’s right to write about it.)
Classes so far
(This is the hardest class load I could take)
AP Human Geo
Honors English
Honors Bio
Honors Geometry
Spanish 1
(I think that I will get an A in all of these classes but I’m on the brink of a B in geometry so I’m working really hard)
Clubs
Student Council - Secretary
Math Team
Enviornment Club
History Through Film
Key Club
Another school volunteering club

As you can see its not really anything special so I’m open to all advice!
