<p>Hello Everyone,
I have no business posting yet, but I need some help on things. </p>

<p>First of all, I am 15 and an incoming freshman at one of the top Catholic high schools in the nation. The name of the school is St. Ignatius, a large school, all boys (about 1500 students), located in a poor neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, and run by the JESUITS. 100% of graduates attend college.About 5 attend Nd every year. The football team contends for the division 1 Ohio state title on a yearly basis. About 40 seniors are national merit finalists every year.
Now to my story...My brother just graduated from that one school over in chestnuit Hill Mass. And my other brother is an incoming sophmore there. I have just completed a summer computer class, and received a 92%, (a B+). So I will start off with a 3.3 GPA. I will not be taking any honors classes this coming year.(I think that will kill me) I have never really been known to try my hardest in school. But I intend to work my butt off these next four years to get into ND. From the first time I stepped foot onto the the campus 3years ago when my brother visited until now Ive loved it.</p>

<p>Plans on what to be involved in:
Soccer and basketball freshman year (Definitly basketball all four years)
St. Benedict Labre Project (deliver food and conversation to homeless people in my school's neighborhood and the rest of Cleveland)
Joseph of Aramathea Pallbearers Society ( carry the caskets of those who have no family left to carry the casket)
Student Senate
Hopefully NHS
Ignatians for Life (anti-abortion group who attend rallys all over the country)
Plan to write for student newspaper
Plan to spearhead a mission trip to Detroit or another poor city in US
Eucharistic Minister
Soccer Referee
Notre Dame Club (watch ND football clips) people do it so it looks good on resume
Latin Club
What else should I be involved in to be more well-rounded??
Will be hopefully toughest courseload possible sophmore-senior years?
School only offers 2 honors classes freshman year.</p>

<p>Essay-how my my brother coming out of the closet doors and "converting" to agnosticism has changed my life as a Catholic, a friend, and a human being.
Or should I find another topic???</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>P.S. I'm sure you can all tell I'm a freshman because of my horrible grammar.</p>

<p>You're a freshman. Don't post on places like this, do what feels natural and what you enjoy. Work hard, but most importantly, ENJOY HIGH SCHOOL. I hate to be blunt, but there's no point in anyone responding to any of your specific questions, or reacting to what you've said. In fact, it may be harmful. Adcoms can tell when you're doing things just because you think it will look good. Things will look good if you truly devoted yourself to them and enjoyed them.</p>

<p>Also, your essay? Seriously? The essay is supposed to be about a formative, important period in your life (not that your brother's experience isn't). You're 15. I really hope something equally, if not more important, personal, and affecting happens in your life over the next 4 years, because if not, then I will be really sorry, because you will have missed out on what high school is all about. High school shouldn't culminate in a 3 page application with attached resume.</p>
