Example: Created and organized a NHS fundraiser that raised $1,000 for victims of the China earthquake.



It would be impossible for a non-leader to do this at our local h.s., as students are not eligible to become members of NHS unless they can demonstrate sufficient leadership experience!

I have a D who is exactly like you, OP. She never wins or gets picked for leadership positions. It is heartbreaking. But, she is the most amazing “worker-bee.” She is loyal, dependable and hard-working, and will always show up with a positive attitude to help others. I am hopeful that this type of applicant is just as valuable to a colleges as “leaders” are. Thank you to all non-leaders who have shared their experiences.
