COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:
Labor (268 hours):
-Built three 8'x12’ storage sheds and assisted in other projects at the Youth Futures Homeless shelter in Ogden, UT. Oversaw many projects including leading a group of Airmen from Hill AFB on a build. I split the Airmen into different groups to increase efficiency. With their help, the final storage shed was finished. I continue to volunteer at the Shelter Home. The Standard Examiner newspaper wrote: ' "He's got a great heart," the father of the 16-year old. "He's one of my heroes." But Jacob Rice said he just wanted to do what he could. "It's a great thing for youth to have a safe place to come to, a safe place to recover and get on their feet, an opportunity to be all they can be." He [Jacob Rice] said he is excited to see youths get help, support and resources.'
-Provided grounds care for the Weber Morgan Children’s Justice Center.
-Painted a Doctors without Borders health care clinic: four observation/treatment rooms and one surgical area.

Citizenship (70 hours):
-Citizen Lobbyist
Lobbied for Utah Senate Bill 296 with Senator Millner, a bill that balances LGBT rights in housing and employment with religious liberties. My transgender parent, prior to the passing of the bill, could have been fired based on gender identity. This inspired me to lobby for a bill that would provide protection against discrimination for my parent and for my state--this experience led to my passion for civic involvement and was the idea behind my Boys Nation Bill: a bill to include gender identity and sexual orientation as a protected minority under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which would ensure protection from housing, employment, and public accommodation discrimination. This bill was overwhelmingly passed in our Senate session and will be going to the President of the United State’s desk for review--my involvement in government helped others because Senator Millner voted in favor of the bill.
-Participated at Utah Youth Suicide and Homelessness; Caring & Daring Event (Weber State, 04/15).
This inspired me to create EYPS. This involvement helps other people because it educates my community on issues and ultimately provides hope/safety for at-risk youth.
-Volunteer, Special Needs Track and Field (2013-present).
Attend and mentor many special needs track and field events throughout the season. My responsibilities range from helping a disabled child throw a Javelin, to keeping the children in their lanes as they run by.

Sharing talent (5 hours):
-Violinist for children and their families at Primary Children’s Hospital, three occasions.
-Violinist and guitarist for the Pine View Transitional Rehab Facility, two occasions. My sister works at this Surgical Rehab Facility, and together we have provided musical therapy for the patients.
-Violinist for an annual dinner at Roy Elementary School for the parents of disabled children.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

You have some excellent leadership, and your public speaking skills will help you immensely with the ALO/MOC interviews. You already know what you need to work on--the ACT score. I would also suggest taking the SAT since you can choose to submit either one.

On another note, I would strongly recommend changing your username if that is your real name. People who will be next year's cadre DO FREQUENT this forum. I believe there were multiple cadets in my class that got targeted during BCT for things they said on social media. You don't want to be well-known if you end up coming next year...trust me.
