I am unsure of which activities to list, or how to organize them. I feel like they may be a bit scattered. What order would I list them in?
I have a strong interest in education (as in education reform) after being inspired by one class early on in my high school career.
I plan on pursuing a major that combines politics and health, and pursuing a minor in education if offered.
