<p>What is your passion? What is your quirk? Dig deep dude. Look for the spirit of goodness and volunteerism that exists in that strong mathematics background of yours. G-town values civic minded people who are interested in bettering the world.</p>

<p>Well like I said, I'm our debate team captain and I spend a considerable amount of time helping out our beginner debaters. I'm also considered by a lot of coaches and debaters to be a top five debater. </p>

<p>I also serve on two community advisory boards. I'm on our school district advisory board, and we take on projects to help better our school district. This year we're working on trying to get our buildings equitable and try and alleviate the drug and alcohol problem in our secondary school. My other board is for our Police Department and we try and raise awareness of the police department. We also advise them on some policy matters, like whether or not the dept. should go to tazers. </p>

<p>Ironically, I devote the least time to math. I'm not any sort of mathlete, my Math scores are high because there's a lot of emphasis in math at my school. Most of my time is devoted to coaching, debating, and newspaper.</p>

<p>Sounds like you have an incredible application. By saying that you had a strong mathematics background, I was by no means implying that you're a "mathlete" (very creative term by the way). I was just very impressed by your background. Good luck with the app. process!</p>
