OK, extra curriculars:
Went to rural China for 3 weeks to teach oral English to English teachers there. It's one of Intel China's biggest community service things.. worked there for about 9 hours a day. I lived in the school and ate at the cafeteria, which is some kind of payment I guess. I had 24 students. Uh... I guess its only special because absolutely nobody else has it, otherwise its nothing worth mentioning.
Taught English in Shanghai for 3 weeks, not that its something in particular, either. Worked at an office. Primary duty was improve the workers' oral English, secondary duty was help out in the office doing clerical stuff. Got a really good review by the supervisor and that's about it. 8 hours a day. Was volunteer work but they gave me 1000yuan ($120) (and a Tshirt) at the end as a gift.
Went to school in Shanghai for 02-03 (freshman). Editor in Chief for newspaper and yearbook there.
Parents seperated (not legally). live with mom and she gets crap pay. (<60K)... plus she has cancer
JSA for 2 years, about 75 credit hours. no position held
Chinese National Honor Society 2 years, 50something credit hours, no position
Football Team 10th grade.
private tutor for half a year, got paid
scorekeeper for basketball games, got paid
What more can i say? (i'm flippin doomed)
My essays should be pretty good since i got a lot of teachers from China who will read them (they are mostly HYPS grads). My teacher recs should be mediocre since im planning on asking my senior year teachers. ALso, one more thing, my essays are gonna be flippin crazy as in the topics will be crazy.
