<p>I don't get it...it seems that people at my high school, as well as everywhere else, use their "resume" as a chance to discuss every single piece of community service they have ever participated in. I have seen kids list anything from "Volunteered at NY Marathon" to "Gave blood two times through Honor Society". I don't get it, I totally cut out the community service section of the "Brag Sheet" format that most people use, because I thought it was redundant - but now I'm really nervous that it might look like I do everything BUT community service. Most of my ec's are not organized through the high school, and tend to be based in campaigns or politics. To me, these things are just as important as going to a homeless shelter - because volunteering for NARAL is benefitting just as many people! I don't know, I've just got really really nervous about this. I listed ZERO community service extracurriculars, and I am not even sure how to list it for my regular decision apps. Is it really appropriate to list certain activities you participated in such as "Homeless Shelter Volunteer, 4 times a year"?</p>
<p>Help!</p>
