<p>Unfortunately, i don't have all those crazy national awards many applicants do..but I do have regional/ States.. But i do have several unique things, and service leadership, unlike most Asians.</p>
<p>Well, girl scouts actually has a lot of leadership. I've gotten three leadership awards, two community service awards, as well as the Silver Award and I'm working on the Gold (both Leadership awards where you plan a project for 40+ hours depending on which one it is).</p>
<p>Tetris: I didn't rate yours because I knew that I would get angry and start going on a rant about the lack of ecological awareness at my school and my community in general. We don't have an environmental club or anything of the sorts. I wish we did so badly. Teachers at my school are lazy scum and don't like to sponsor clubs. Boo.</p>
<p>Anyways, this is kind of a biased rating: But that sounds amazing. It's great that you're so dedicated. 9/10 (deduction due to immense jealousy)</p>
<p>da_elite: WOW. When do you have time to do anything? 6/10. Just because I think that you might be too involved and not have enough time to fully dedicate yourself to what you're involved in to the fullest... If that makes sense. You know those people who sign up for everything but never show up and never fufill their responsibilities? I'm not saying that you do that because I know it's possible to be dedicated in all of your commitments, but it just seems like you're in too much to possibly get it all done 100%.</p>
<p>But you get major props for being in Key Club. The best club EVER.</p>
