4. Other Clubs: Mock Trial(juror), culture club (secretary), key club, yearbook, writing and literature workshop(president),amnesty,habitat for humanity, brazilian exchange.
5. part of a youth leadership group in my city(not one of those national leadership forum stuff. this works with respect to my city only and consists of only 8 kids)
6.viola for 8 years.
7. I am working this summer as an intern in a local newspaper. last 2 summers I worked for my mom's company as a receptionist/secretary.</p>
