I'm trying to apply for Class of 2024 right now. Academically, I know I'm completely fine. Athletically, I play football and wrestle. I was a member of class council this last year (though I'm not signed up for this coming year) and am a member of National Honor Society.
I'm confident in all areas of my application except for the leadership portion. I'm just not familiar enough with what is wanted or looked for and how different things are weighted. I've done a few volunteer things where I've had a leadership role, but not really an official position which one of my congressional applications asks for.
My football team doesn't have captains, so I think I'd just need to talk to my coach and see if he'd be okay with me putting myself as a captain/team leader. With wrestling, I was not a captain this last year but I believe my coach would agree that I was a team leader and odds are that I will be a captain this coming year. I was also elected as National Honor Society president.
I've done various things like mentoring a freshman and being a coach for a youth football camp. Both are leadership roles, but I don't have an officer title or anything to put down.
Is this a solid leadership resume or should I try to find more?
