Programming Lessons</p>
<p>erm… not sure how to rank. I don’t really want to rank too harshly since my ECs are crap. But I guess I would say these are average, except maybe programming lessons. </p>
<p>So 5-6? But I feel like without knowing how much time devoted to each activity or what you do in the activity, it’s kind of hard to judge and I’m probably being too harsh. Sorry :(</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m a junior, and here are my ECs:
Science Olympiad member (will be in leadership position next year)</p>
<p>Scientific Research (mostly independent, with small amount of help from local professors. Won Siemens semi-finalist this year. Participated in local science fairs since 6th grade). </p>
<p>Competition coordinator/finder for Science Club (different from SciOly) </p>
<p>~200 hours community service (concentrated at 3 different places) </p>
<p>Cello</p>
<p>NaNoWriMo participant and finisher/winner for past three years</p>
<p>Art club member (we sell magazines of everyone’s art works and use proceeds for charity), will be treasurer next year</p>
<p>Creative Writing Club member (will have a leadership position next year)</p>
<p>And I don’t know if these can be considered ECs, but I do spend a considerable amount of time on them:
Reading European classic literature
Graphic design for others (not for money)
Writing just for fun</p>
<p>Future ECs:
… will enter poetry into competitions
… planning on starting an Etsy shop over winter break selling cute charms (for jewelry) made from Japanese handcrafted goods that I will make
… entered a few photography competitions, don’t know results yet
… will do track this year, I’m in D3 time range. Did sport in freshman year but couldn’t last year due to health issues.</p>
<p>I’m a junior (number of years includes senior year).</p>
<p>Clubs:

Small group festive choir at school (3 years)

<p>JV field hockey (2 years, dunno if varsity next year?)

<p>Volunteering: misc., math tutoring, animal shelters</p>
<p>Entering poetry in Scholastics and will hopefully win some awards, also will find other competitions. Also will probably do some essay contests. Hopefully trying out USNCO.</p>
