Hello to everyone who may end up eventually reading this!
My name is Michael! I am currently a Junior at Signature School ( we have immensely high ratings for difficulty, and other things, "Ranked #1 in the US, that kind of thing) I was hoping someone might see thus, and eventually respond.
Academics:
GPA: 2.91 (unweighted, all AP and IB courses) :|
GPA 3.22 (weighted , all AP and IB courses)
Of course not the best, but I still have chances at improvement, although I am a junior, I am currently retaking some courses in order to replace previously earned bad grades.
My school does not do any class rank. (Kinda Sucks)
I haven't taken the SAT/ACT yet, I am hopefully trying to take it by the end of next month. I have though taken the PSAT, in which I received a 970 on it. I know this is not the best, but I have done some practice SAT exams via Khan Academy and my scores are somewhat close to 1200.
Extracurriculars:
- I am in the process of getting involved in Robotics Club, as we speak, just trying to sort some things out.
- I will be also trying to get involved in Cross Country, as it is something that is quite small at our school, no other sports are offered at my school. This was recommended to me by my P.E. teacher.
- I volunteer quite a bit around the community, as each year my school requires 25 hours of service, and in both my Freshman and Sophomore years, I did almost 50 hours each year. Almost double what is expected of us. Of course with COVID-19 going on currently, volunteering has been more difficult, but I am trying to do the best with what I have.
- I have a current job that I have been a part of since June 2020, when we first opened, I currently work at Donatos Pizza. I on average work 12 hours a week there, typically on the weekends. I earned my first raise, within a couple months of working, as they consider me to be a hard worker. There have been some mentions between me and managers, that I could possibly earn Employee of the Quarter one day, if I keep on working hard. I make $9.25 an hour, and I try to sometimes save up, in which some times, I have helped my dad pay bills, and do other things.
- I am involved in an organization called Youth Resources of Southern Indiana (Look it Up!) I have been involved with since October 2020, and we typically meet every two weeks on Fridays. Just recently I was awarded with Member of the Month, for my active participation in the organization.
- If anyone takes the time to read this. I really appreciate it, and I hope to maybe gain some advice through this journey, that will take some time.
Thanks again!
