<p>Virginia is #4! Represent!</p>
<p>@collegeluva101: woah, your school’s Key Club is intense… or at least, more so than my school’s. My school’s Key Club is kind of dying - since nothing goes on during lunch nobody wants to go. However, they only let Key Club people volunteer at their events. It’s a pretty bad situation.</p>
<p>@DukeHopeful2014: I am pretty sure that counts as a leadership position. In my opinion, it is hard to organize an event such as the one you described above. But that’s just my two cents.</p>
<p>@quidditchcat: I’ve already run it twice.</p>
<p>Just popping it to say hello; haven’t been here in awhile.</p>
<p>@Heather: Yeah, my parents knew (know, actually) nothing about schools like that, or anything about college in general. Same with prep schools, boarding school, et cetera. I was going to go to an IB school my freshman year, but I went to an arts school instead, and eventually wound up at my town’s public school (and I’m sooo glad I didn’t go to the IB school).</p>
<p>I mean, they know these schools exist, but my mom has told me a few times that they wanted me to “be a kid” for as long as I possibly could, so learning about them wasn’t exactly important to them.</p>
<p>I wish we had schools to choose from in my area. Here you get the 200 student public high school, or homeschool.</p>
<p>We have three public school districts near where I live, and a boarding school for boys. It’s not prestigious, more of a helping-underachievers-not-be-underachievers-anymore type thing.</p>
<p>Ugh tomorrow is the start of the busiest 4 weeks of my life (until senior year). I know it’s 2013 and with college and all that good stuff I should be prepared for chaos, I’m just not. All in 4 weeks I have to:
-study for finals (especially APUSH and Algebra 2)
-study for the Feb 9th ACT
-organize a school-wide fundraiser
-prepare for debate tournaments
-prepare for business tournaments
-complete Chicago Scholars and Boston U applications
-Raise all 4 of my B’s to A’s (that will be easy for two of my classes, the other two will take true commitment)</p>
<p>4 weeks might seem like enough for all of that, but it’s really not.<br>
Let Junioritis come into effect in 3…2…1<br>
Also does anybody have time management advice, that is my biggest weakness right now. Especially when you consider that I’m on CC instead of accomplishing anything on the above list.</p>
<p>How about </p>
<p>-Study for finals
-Study for Feb 9th ACT
-Finish CDR for NASA(tomarrow)
-Study for Northern Area competition
-Tryouts for varsity lacrosse
-Build and launch a test flight of rocket
-Start working on FDR for NASA
-Raise APUSH and Calc grade with final (96% and 98% needed :()
-Get 6 hours for Habitat in a week</p>
<p>If you have any advice for me I would appreciate</p>
<p>i’ve been following this for a while
just dropping to say that @TinnyT, i am doing Chicago Scholars too!</p>
<p>Hey, I have Key Club elections tomorrow afternoon.
If anyone is willing, could you guys comment on my speech? Do you think it’s alright? I’m kind of worried, thanks!</p>
<p>I’m proud to say I’m a part of Key Club. It’s not only because of all the great, new people I get to meet, but because I know that with everything we do to service our community, we are benefiting the world. We all want to change the world for the better. Some don’t take that first step, but just by being in Key Club we all have taken that step, by becoming members of one of the oldest and largest service organizations in the world. But to me, being a member isn’t enough. Not only do I want to benefit the community, I want to benefit our club. I want to take on an officer position because I believe I could help ----- Key Club take the next step to a better year for 2013-2014. Some goals I have in mind include keeping the club on top of things. That means: no procrastinating. By being on top of things it’ll allow room for improvement or even new ideas. And of course as a vice president I’d assist the president and all of the other officers to the best of my ability. I’d be that shoulder to lean on. If you need something done? You can count on me. I’m the type of person you can rely on. Another goal in mind is to successfully establish and strengthen our committees. Last year, we didn’t have enough applicants. As part of my responsibilities as vice president, I’d encourage more members to become more involved in Key Club and apply as committee chairs. I’d support the committee chairs and provide them with ideas and ensure the job is getting done. If need be I’d be more than willing to help the various committees with any problems they may be having I’d help Party Committee develop games for our members to make meetings more fun, and I’d help Service Events with planning. Now, these are only some goals I’d like to work on. But I don’t want to only help the officers, I want to help the members. Help the members find their passion in Key Club. Even though one of our main goals is to gain more members, keeping them involved as dedicated members is more important. I believe connection is KEY. Connecting with members will ensure not only more people at service events but a stronger club. Connecting to other schools, divisions, and regions is huge. But it all starts here—with my connection to all of you in this room. And I think it all begins with one simple word, “Hello.” So…Hello my name is ------------, and I’m running for ----- Key Club’s vice president.</p>
<p>@tehlofflies Yay! Good luck.</p>
<p>I’m actually in the middle of finals, and I’ve got vacation starting THURSDAY! I’m really pumped, but guess what I’m going to be doing then?
Pros-
Skiing (not a trip, just a couple hours)
Seeing Wicked (yay!) and just having a general girls night out with my mom and sisters
Waking up after 5:45 AM</p>
<p>CONS (pay attention)-
Writing 6 essays for TASP- yes, I decided to apply in the end- can’t hurt…
Pray for a good GPA this term
Go to the rheumatologist and get all sorts of tests about my knees that I really would rather not know the answers to
Somehow find a dress for my cousin’s wedding that I’ll feel pretty in- an impossible task…
Studying for the March SAT math
Applying for summer internships for when I don’t get into TASP</p>
<p>Somehow I’m not looking forward QUITE SO MUCH to this vacation…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I like the rest of it, but I’d rethink this bit. Generalities about how everyone wants to change the world work well on HS students, but I’d reword it. Also, you are benefiting the club by being an active member ;)</p>
<p>I have finals and it’s stressing me out since it’s a self study class due to schedule mix ups and I just can’t bring myself to do any work 
.</p>
<p>Wow my terms are so different then most. I am already 3 weeks into second semester…weird. But on a positive note got my report card for last semester with a 4.0 for the term! One B- exam grade in early choir. The teacher is kinda nuts though so who knows.</p>
<p>LOL I saw the application for TASP.</p>
<p>And the minute I saw write 6 essays that’s due in a week. I immediately gave up LOL</p>
<p>Right now my life looks like this
- Study for midterms/finals
- Finish major physics project
- Study for SAT (taking the SAT in like two weeks)
- Prepare for NACLO
- Study for dual enrollment exam</p>
<p>On the plus side I am done with scheduling for next year!</p>
<p>So my math and French exams went well. And my English and Film grades went up to B’s- Thank God. I just need to get an A on my history and chem exams. Lol, not going to happen</p>
<p>Who else is taking the SAT…#$#@$@#$@#$@#$!@*$%! IT’S NEXT WEEK?</p>
<hr>
<hr>
<p>WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN
Yeah, who else is taking it on the 26th?</p>
<p>@ArtsyGirl13 What classes are you taking next year?</p>
<p>@milkyway531 Me too! Time went way too fast and it is the day after midterms end and I have done almost no prep. This should be fun… :p</p>
