| I'd like to think that while colleges do want students who have done original research in DNA, that they'd also want students who could help continue their band program.
Find your passion. Do what you love- it’s so much easier to do well in something that you enjoy. | |

| I gotta agree. As an Eagle Scout, and in the scouts, I put in a tremendous amount of time. Heavily involved. I've held almost every leaderhsip position, and personally taught at least half the current scout troop what they know. I just now got my Eagle because well...I wanted a good project. I am now an Eagle Scout. My project? I built a trail. Unfortunately other younger scouts have gotten Eagle, and all they've done is build benches. I hope colleges start to look at how many other positions and responisibilities a scout holds before they accept his Eagle as significant. | |

| I agree- I am a girl scout and earned the girl scout silver award, which consumes at least 35 hours of community service. If building a bench gets more credit that assiting, decorating, and videotaping a bible school for a video project that I gave to the church, then something is wrong. | |

| In addition to those 35 hours, there are prerequisites for earning the award- total, i think it's 60 hours community service. | |

| I'm in Interact, but the only reason I joined was because my girlfriend at the time (freshmen year) joined. But yeah, key club seems to have more stuff.
Anyways, I am an Eagle Scout, and I am wondering how much it can help, because it's one of the few things I have going for me | |

| i was wondering...
how good does campaigning for a senator look for schools such as the ivies?
What about a mayor, assuming you can get a really good rec from him. (population of city--75k)? And by campaigning, i mean precinct walking, fundrasing, campaign meetings, etc. | |
