I've just scheduled my HSSP Interview at my local AFROTC (for Jan 8, 2016). I was told, through email, that I needed to email them back my "Extracurricular Activity Sheet" ASAP. At first, I was under the impression that I could just log into my online application, go to my activities page, and print it off. But there is no option to do that. I assume I will have to make one from scratch, but I've hit a snag...
I don't know what sort of format to use. I know it needs to be a decent and easy to read sheet, if not impressive; but I'm not sure how to organize it or if I should just make it a list or I don't even know what. I've been told to bring my resume separately, and that already has a good summary of my extracurriculars. So I'm worried about bringing 2 of the same exact things, really...
This probably seems like a pretty trivial problem. But I'm really worried about it. I don't want to walk in there seeming unprepared.
So any help or tips at all would be greatly appreciated! Please!
In addition, if I'm going to make a sheet entirely focused on my extracurriculars, is there anything extra I should or should not put on it?
I pretty much have no sports to back me up (which I'm praying does not automatically doom me). I've done almost entirely volunteer work throughout high school (including leadership roles in my youth group), and I have taken care of family responsibilities (bringing up my special needs nephew for 8 years, and then newborn niece for 3, etc.); but my family lives on a ranch and I've had to help put up fences, build sheds, take care of animals, and move 200 lbs hay bales... Does that count for anything?
The "physical/athlete" side of my application is not very strong, officially... I really, really need some guidance. Please, any help would be miraculous at this point. Thanks so much, y'all.
