Leadership Class (For those who misunderstand this class as learning the leadership through text books or something like that, it’s more like not for the people in need of leadership, but for the people already with plenty of experiences. It’s competitive to get it. A few students made it in my grade, including, of course, me. I heard in this class we set up and lead school events, like prom. But I do not have any leadership experience, lol. My admission to this class surprised every single my friends.)

Any advice? I know I need to cut out some schools. The reason why I include many OOS schools is my father’s desire.
