<p>To KitKatz:</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your awesome advice! However, I don’t think I lack that much leadership as you have stated because I am an active officer in 5 organizations of our school. I am very good at recruiting members and advertising. However I do realize that perhaps I should focus in on a few things but it’s just hard for me to choose. I believe I can still continue on with some of these activities, I just won’t put them into my college application if I have better credentials with another organization. :)</p>
<p>To big dreamer:</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s correct in saying that I’m just like every other Asian person out there. I know plenty of Asian people who aren’t as “competitive” as people stereotypically think most if not all Asians are. However, I do appreciate your advice about shining out and I think I have achieved a little bit of that ( I hope) because of three things:</p>
<p>Our high school was brand new (inaugural year) when I arrived there as a freshmen:</p>
<p>As secretary for the Spanish Club (9th grade), I did most of the work (my sponsor realized that) and successfuly managed to get over 50 members (of which 350-ish are fully active) involved in numerous projects such as reading to the ESL kids in elementary schools.</p>
<p>Since I was an officer for Student Council and Interact, and a member of FPS: I was able to create along with a lot friends, a program that aimed at making sure 4th graders passed the Math TAKS (standardized state test) by looking at how they did on the 3rd grade TAKS and making sure that the students who failed or were on borderline recieve extra, fun tutoring so they could develop a strong foundation in math. I was able to get a lot of people involved in this through these 3 organizations and our Future Problem Solvers also has Community Service competition part to as well so we will turn in our projects for competition next year.</p>
<p>I was also one of three drum majors selected (people that conduct during marching shows) out of an organization of over 150 people and effectively helped keep the morale of the band and raise their dedication levels during the fall semester of this year.</p>
