<p>I use CC’s to get useful input on my goals and ideas and i do the same for other forums, but this place is not the place to be a personality assessment taker, and I am addressing this, because not that i am hurt (I don’t even know you!) and I know you have good intentions, whether I’m secure or not is irrelevant and it al depends on what respect too. </p>
<p>I recognize that harvard is not Heaven (although MIT is…JK JK) and rejection to any of the colleges is not at all a sign of failure, but more a high statistical probability.</p>
<p>I am very passionate about the political EC, having won 5 awards in debate and Distinguished Best Speaker in Model Congress last year, and I do it for myself, and for my personal growth in my dream (and MLK Jr. also had ‘dreams’) career as US Congressman. </p>
<p>The Rubik’s cube solve is the simplest of all my feats (really, just look up tutorials on youtube and after a week you’ll know it if your committed). </p>
<p>In defense of the boy scouts, I can’t say it was just a tool, on contrary it shaped who i am and any leadership skills I have, if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have had confidence to be leader of 80 boys, do 50 mile canoeing treks (despite my deafness which for longest time social ostracized me from aquatic activities)</p>
<p>my first merit badge was Public Speaking, and i am deaf impaired, it encouraged me to go on and become a regular speaker at various functions, and I hope this serves as encouragement for deaf kids who fall upon this, that they’re nothing but distractions as opposed to real stumbling blocks. </p>
<p>@Gibby, thanks am having a great read!</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your input!!</p>
<p>and yes I posted this several times, if that makes me a ■■■■■, so be it! I want maximum input from everyone, and can’t expect the harvard forum-ers to be checking MIT forums every day, so I posted it for the different niches out there. </p>
<p>AP’s don’t make or break, so true, but I am aiming for AP State Scholar (male in NY, means need 20+ AP’s and it’s all self study so i can manage my own schedule 
)</p>
