Will this work to my advantage?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm a junior at a small International school in Oregon.</p>

<p>I joined the school in my freshman year, which was also coincidentally the school's first year of existence. Even more convenient, I was part of the 30 or so students in the highest grade at the time(9th grade).</p>

<p>Students in my grade worked hard to create our school's culture. This included creating clubs, organizing events, etc. I personally helped create the school's Model UN club, Newspaper, and Student Council. </p>

<p>Does this show initiative? Will it work to my advantage in application essays? I know that there are a lot of highly qualified applicants out there, and I want to get any edge I can. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Starting clubs are other activities is always a plus for an applicant.</p>
