<p>So I was selected to attend my state’s HOBY leadership conference. I was the only sophomore to be chosen, which is a feat in itself. However, I wasn’t able to attend. How should I record this on a resume, or should I not record it all since I didn’t go?</p>
<p>you should just say “selected as a sophomore to attend my state’s HOBY leadership conference”, and maybe add"but was not able to attend because …"</p>
<p>Good idea! Thanks! I was thinking of that, too.</p>
