Not a club but I wrote and drew books when I was kid and because of that my teacher established this make your own book station, I was like 6 or 7 but I still consider it a huge accomplishment

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
I didn’t even compete for that science club in 8th because COVID. Also didn’t do a lot freshman year because no clubs were running due to covid. I’m not trying to find excuses but online learning was really hard on me and I got the lowest grades I’ve ever gotten for advanced Inquiry and math 3. Also I’m on the IB pathway where you have to take a bunch of prerequisites in order to do the actual IB program your junior and senior year. I understand that I have no AP classes but I don’t have the room because of those prerequisites
