<p>Northstarmom, I like what you said. for example, i went to a Xmas skate show tonight and performed. I feel GREAT. 
</p>
<p>yet still what should i do to have a good list anyway? i know i’m lame but i want to get into HYP. I know a good gpa and other test scores are not good enough.</p>
<p>Keep pursuing your interests with courage, creativity and with measurable accomplishments. In your case, perhaps you could start a breakdancing contest or program that results money being raised for a charity that you care about. Whether or not you get into HPY, at least you would have spread some joy and helped make a positive difference in the world. You’d also learn a great deal bout fundraising and organizing events, and that experience would serve you well in whatever field you decide to enter.</p>
