<p>ExtraCurriculars:
-I've been in band since 6th grade. I was Woodwind Captain as a junior and Section Leader this year. I was going to be drum major but I resigned because everyone expected me to rather than me really wanting to. Since I was a freshman, I have recieved a Band Student of the Year Award every year. I love band. And my saxophone :D This includes marching band and concert band.
-NHS junior year (the year students are chosen) and president this year
-Science NHS junior year (the year students are chosen) and treasurer this year
-The Dream Team: this summer, I participated in a leadership conference at University of Texas at Austin with selected students in our school district
-Tae Kwon Do for 4 years when I was like 9 years old. I had to stop because the distance was far and we had financial trouble.
-Green is Love: school club that gets students involved with helping the environment
-Language Fair: I went to a spanish competition and recieved two 4th place medals.
-I've participated in Science Fair and History Fair since the 6th grade.</p>
<p>I've done lots of community service and by the end of my senior year, I should have 150+ hours. Including tutoring, helping around the community, going to elementary schools to help and talk to them.</p>
<p>So please chance me? I have a very low self esteem thinking about my chances. Constructive criticism would be appreciated.</p>
<p>My safety schools are UT Austin and Texas A&M. Since I'm a texas resident and in the top 10% of my school, I have automatic admission.</p>
