I am a female freshman in high school. Suggestions on what to work on would be greatly appreciated!
Academics:
(these are the classes I will be taking this year)
Honors Algebra II
Spanish II
Honors Biology
Freshman Seminar (advanced placement English class)
Ancient History
P.E.
Honors Orchestra (violin)
-Last year I made an A+ in everything except for Geometry (A-) and Spanish (A). My GPA for this year will be calculated after the first quarter.
Athletics:
-Will be on JV field hockey team (trying for varsity)
-Will be on varsity track team (I do pole-vaulting)
-My mile time is around ten minutes (does anybody have suggestions on how to breathe while running? My problem isn't as much that my legs get tired, but that I run out of breath and get pretty bad cramps).
-10 push-ups
-35 sit-ups in a minute
-two pull-ups
Community Service:
-30 hours volunteering at local hospital
-Girl's Service Club member
-45 hours volunteering at the Special Childrens School (this is from the previous summer, when I was still in 8th grade...will it mean anything on my application? Should I leave this off because it was before high school?)
Leadership:
-Working on my Girl Scout Gold Award
-Next summer I'll be on a 5 week VISIONS service project to Peru (team building, Spanish, hiking, camping, 65 hours service building schools and classroom additions, irrigation canals, wells, potable water septic systems, and cisterns)
-Hoping to get into Girls State or Governors School
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
And also, should I take both the SAT and the ACT? Are both required, or just one?
And when should I apply for a congressional nomination?
And what is an LOA?
Sorry for all the questions. I know I crammed a lot into one thread.
