Wow I have not been on this forum for a long time!
I have been the busiest person in the world (hyperbole guys... sheesh)! Some things have been going on in my personal life and because of that, my gpa for the end of my sophomore year is not where it should be for a competitive profile (3.45 unweighted) but I just have to keep in mind that I do take an all honors course load (or so my transcript says). I was declaiming a speech today in my english class and something really spoke to me. Paraphrasing from Oprah Winfrey at the 2013 Harvard commencement, you have to build a resume that doesn't tell a story about what you want to be, but who you want to be. As long as I continue to be passionate about different aspects of my life, things will happen for a reason.
So here is what we are looking at for my profile:
3.45 gpa (unweighted)
Lettered in Lacrosse (YAY this just happened the other day)
Investment Club Member
President of the GSA- This is an interesting story. My brother is a part of the LGTB+ community and I wanted him to join a community that would welcome him but he wasn't comfortable joining on his own. Apparently they thought that I was a decent leader and influence so here I am! I am not sure if I will include this on my application when I apply so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
Active Actor in our Theater
Yellow (Almost Orange Belt!!) in Kenpo Karate
Student Leader (Program in my school where I help out around the libraries and in our offices)
100+ community services hours
I have been babysitting in my free time for 2 families now! Very fun stuff!
NLE Cum Laude Award
Approbation Award
PERFECT ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR- Ok this is not really an award and it will not count towards anything but I was proud of this so I wanted to put it!
Student Council member (running for office right now so I am not sure if I will get a position)
My PSAT Score was a 1300 so not the best but I believe that with studying it will definitely go up in my junior year (Then SATs/ACTs will be great)
So that is who I am! I am really passionate about Film and I have been working on some short films and a PSA for a contest. I also really love history. I took AP World History this year and I am doing a model UN in my class discussing the current situation in North Korea. Oh and science. I am obsessed with science.
Thank you for reading this! I just felt that in order to understand my future posts, you should get to know me first!
