this isnt actually possible. you cant play those sports at any competitive level in every single state in the US... for example, i play hockey, unless you consider skating on a pond once playing hockey, it would just happen to conflict with the gymnastics soccer squash football and lacrosse.... i mean maybe your playing all these at an extreme low level. cuz i snowboard as much as possible, but there really isnt much time, i play lacrosse as well, thats all there is time for.... hockey is a 3 season sport, soccer is 2 seasons lacrosse is 1 season gymnastics is year round..... USA hockey has says you have to maintain a certain number of practices and gamesto qualify, so unless your in the EHF, which you probably arent, none of this is actually possible, especially along with some 5 languages. even if you didn't sleep, you can't play 8 time consuming sports, learn 5 languages and take 3 years ahead of average Americans in math. i mean i skipped 2 grades in math and take extra classes, but there isnt enough time to do any of that even with no sleep.

Yep. It is a Catch 22. You cannot do everything so competitively without having time to sleep, and if you barely sleep you cannot compete so competitively.

yeh, trust me. even noncompetitively. i know there might be 10 kids out there like this in the world, but...
1) they do not just chat on the internet, they are hardcore all the time
2) they do not play squash for fun, and take lessons over the summer
3) people who have just moved to America cannot speak that fluently along with that many other languages.
4) she said under represented nationality, which most likely means one of the smaller countries in Asia.
5) also, scientifically speaking, oriental girls stop growing at a younger age and are much smaller so physically cannot endure football or hockey... has anyone ever heard of the any of the Asian countries football or hockey teams?.. you cannot just develope those sports in less than 2 years.
6) no schools publically allow you to move more then 2 grades, i have tryed.
7) also notice that there are no specifics in any of her ECs.. just years and random activities that sound good on an app.

The thing is though...
Enviroment Awareness Club(Leader) 5 Years
How is that possible? How many schools do you know where a third grader is the leader of an environmental awareness club? How many schools have such clubs available to them? I know I certainly didn't, nor do I now. I suppose that some schools do offer amazing extracurriculars and such in middle school, but I definitely hope that schools won't count my lack of clubs and activites against me simply because my school doesn't offer them. ANyway, some of the things you say you have done for years and years seem impossible, and if not, incredible. I certainly agree that you are either trolling or fishing for compliments.

Hi LeeLeigh. You have amazing stats and with all of that you are definitely going to get in. They are a bit unrealistic I may have to admit but I really do not think that gives anyone the right to call you a troll. You might even be able to manage your time doing all those sports but...wickedcrazy does have a point. Who starts a club in 3rd grade? Are you even aloud to? Because I am having doubts about my principal letting me start a club in eighth grade.
Anyways good luck. Everyone deserves a chance to get in and I am not going to try and get anyone down by telling them they are a troll or a fake or something.
