Hi! I’m Caitlyn, and I’m a junior in high school. I have been extremely interested in health, science, and math and excel in those subjects. In college, I am planning on majoring in biomedical engineering. I have been offered a position to be president of film appreciation club, a club I have been a part of for two years already. I was super excited for this because with me, the club might be able to accomplish some things and organize events next year. I also wanted to apply for a position as treasurer of Mu Alpha Theta, an honor society I have been a part of for a year. The problem is that the meeting for declaring who is president is on Thursday, and Thursday is the day members elect people for Mu Alpha Theta. Since both meetings happen at the same time, I am forced to choose between the two. If I do not attend the film appreciation club meeting, I will not be given a position.

I am curious as to what you guys think I should do in this situation. I am concerned about how this looks to colleges. Mu Alpha Theta is a good club to have a position in, but besides math, I have a passion for film. Should I show that passion by taking the position? In addition, there is a back up for film appreciation club president, who I believe can do very well. Overall, I’m just conflicted.
