<p>My accomplishments this summer: severely lacking (I am so disappointed in myself, ugh). </p>
<p>I volunteered at a homeless shelter (every Friday); I was the director of human resources at a company; lost weight, despite the fact I ate at Chipotle and blueberry hill roughly four times a week. </p>
<p>I wanted to read tons of books, self-study my AP classes and take a lot of SAT practice exams. </p>
<p>Anyways, what did the College Confidential Community accomplish over the summer?</p>
<p>Let’s see…</p>
<p>I’ve finished my 50-hour volunteer project for school, so I don’t have to worry about that anymore, yay! Although I’ll probably volunteer a lot more at someplace that I actually care about lol.
I worked at my dad’s office and made a decent amount.
I started studying for SAT II Math 2 and will probably take in October.
I taught myself precalc, even though I probably won’t be taking AP Calc next year 
I’ve also planned out my APs for the rest of high school LOL. typical CCer right here.</p>
<p>And…yeah, that’s about it. I’m determined to make next summer MUCH more productive haha.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I became a victim of fangirling. The Olympics changes a person haha. On a serious note, I volunteered in a hospital in a 3rd world country while on vacation, began volunteering at a local hospital, finished my summer homework, and I’ve spent multiple weekends helping to earn money for my youth group. What I really need to do is start apps and figure out what I want to major in… Oh and I need to start studying for the ACT/SAT. I don’t want to take it for a 3rd time in November/December.</p>
<p>Taught at a math camp, watched some Olympics, built a roller coaster out of K’nex :)</p>
<p>I went to the gym 3-4x a week for the past few months, studied for the SAT a bit, still haven’t finished my summer reading, and yeah… it’s been a very boring and procrastinatory summer with no noteworthy accomplishments (I’m not usually this lazy over the summer, haha). I was planning on volunteering, but then I… didn’t. :(</p>
<p>Spent whole time interning (40 hours a week…almost said a day) at UCSD and thought myself calculus…went by TOO fast but I have boosted my SAT score on practices A LOT.</p>
<ul>
<li>Went to Israel for three weeks</li>
<li>Coached a golf camp for little kids</li>
<li>Studied for the ACT</li>
<li>Taught myself geometry</li>
<li>(Am now doing) a glass-blowing intensive</li>
<li>AP summer work (but not really, I still have a ton to do)</li>
</ul>
<p>-Business Camp at Columbia
-Tennis
-PSAT Studies
-JSA Republican National Convention Sympisium acceptance. (Can’t go because family vacation :(:(:()</p>
<p>I worked.</p>
<p>And scored a job interview tomorrow.</p>
<p>-Read the Prince and Hardball (for school)
-worked as a custodian
-worked as a tutor
-went to a karate world championship
-made a stromboli</p>
<p>I was mildly productive. (compared to a lot of you) (senior year starts in exactly a week) I volunteered at the hospital and now have 1300ish hours (started at 1200 at the beginning of the summer). I did 2 of the 18 pages of the AP Lit summer packet -<em>- (It’s worth 400 pts so I have to finish by Monday). I went to summer@Brown for 3 weeks (that was awesome). I had a job interview a couple of days ago, but I’m guessing I didn’t get the job since I haven’t been called (-</em>-). I also worked on my online class</p>
<p>Hardly productive…</p>
<p>-Started working out more (and running 10+ miles each week but then it died down real fast)</p>
<p>-Made approx $500 from babysitting and some paperwork for my neighbors</p>
<p>-Got into student council (I wasnt voted top 6 (though I was probably top 10) but the teacher wanted me and a few other students to be in so I found out a week or two ago that I made it!)</p>
<p>-Done maybe 10 hours or so with volunteering in an internship I have with the DNC</p>
<p>-Made an A in Honors Pre-cal (summer course so I can take AP Physics and Calc this year)</p>
<p>-In a week or two I’ll be done with my summer reading (haha I just started this, but it’ll definitely get done)</p>
<p>What I actually wanted to accomplish:</p>
<p>-A good amount of preparation for the SATs/PSATs </p>
<p>-to have made the tennis team (and gone to the pre-season practices)</p>
<p>-Started a good amount of preparation for AP Physics and Calc</p>
<p>-Did some extra volunteering </p>
<p>-Read a ton of books (a lot of classics were on the list, plus some sequels to books I’ve been reading)</p>
<p>Yeah… but still was semi-productive.</p>
<p>Ehh Democratic. :/</p>
<p>I still haven’t finished my summer homework.</p>
<p>In the beginning of summer I was writing a lot but scratched it all because it was part of a hopeless story. I went to writing camp for two weeks which was productive and wonderful and I loved it. Then I wrote two short stories and a half after that. One of those short stories was just a guilty pleasure high school romance story that I will never show anyone in my life, so I guess that counts as one and half short stories…which is basically nothing.</p>
<p>I read one and half books. I haven’t spent times with my friends at all. I didn’t go on vacation either. This was a pretty bummer summer.</p>
<p>This summer has been the busiest but also the most productive of all time for me.
<p>-Finished summer work for AP Econ
-400 hours at a neuro-ophthalmology lab
-Attended a neuroscience summer camp
-Started writing a blog with a friend (luxperci.com) that’s gotten 7300+ views from 80 countries in only the 12 days since startup.</p>
<p>TO-DO (in the next 2 weeks):
-Start college apps/essays
-Finish summer work for AP Lit and AP French
-Start writing Siemens/Intel research paper
-Start “prep” for Math 2</p>
<p>Gahh I’m disappointed in myself…I wanted this summer to be so much more.</p>
<p>-Ran 700+ miles to prepare for cross country season</p>
<p>To Do in the next 3 weeks:</p>
<p>-Learn the entirety of Physics 1
-Read An American Childhood
-Write two essays
-Learn the first two chapters of Calc AB</p>
<p>Classic procrastinator here.</p>
<p>What I planned this summer:
-getting a job
-getting an internship
-cleaning my room from top to bottom
-not procrastinating my ap lit assignments
-study for the act and sat every day
-lose 10 pounds</p>
<p>What I accomplished:
-I interview for a job on Wednesday
-I got an internship
-I completely cleaned my room
-I handed in my ap lit assignments on time
-I lost 15 pounds and didn’t really need to</p>
<p>So, yeah, I think I did okay this summer. I just have to work my butt off and study for the SAT and ACT.</p>
<p>I did a community service trip to Pittsburgh (around 35-40 service hours), read a few books (not including those for summer reading), practiced guitar and bass, and started my APUSH summer assignment. Nothing noteworthy unfortunately</p>
<p>Oh and I just set up my own company making Android apps… (AWESOME, wish I had thought of it sooner!)</p>
