not a leader

You don’t need to hold office in a school club to exhibit leadership that is attractive to colleges. Being active and pursuing your interests in or out of school shows leadership. What are you passionate about. Pursue that and you will have great ECs and great essay topics. You just need to follow your interests. Colleges do like to see that you have contributed to your high school in some manner because they want students who will contribute to their campuses. Again this does not mean you need to hold an office. Being part of a project that helps your school or brings it recognition will work. And if you absolutely feel you must have an actual leadership position, do as another poster suggested: start your own club and make it one that actually does something.
