<p>Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):</p>
<p>Defensive Team Captain for Varsity football team, in charge of calling plays and making sure everyone is lined up correctly prior to the snap, and audibling out of plays depending on how other offense is lined up. I play LB/OLB.</p>
<p>Varsity Basketball Team Captain: I play small forward/power forward, depending on if we’re playing big or small lineup.</p>

<p>Spanish Honor Society: Tutor kids who have difficulty in Spanish every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for 90 minutes.</p>
<p>Key Club: Coordinator, was in charge of scheduling events for us to attend such as Ronald McDonald house, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Retirement homes, and homeless shelters.</p>
<p>American Red Cross: Helped collect money to help send to Japan in order to help with the relief effort in Japan. I was in charge of phone-calls, and we even went door-to-door.</p>
<p>Native American Rights Fund: Help raise money to make lives for Native Americans much better. We built care-packages containing basic necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpastes, non-perishable food items, and board games for kids and adults to enjoy. We then shipped them off to reservations across the U.S.</p>
<p>National Association for the Advancement of Colored People- Helped minorities such as Hispanics, Native Americans, assassin homes and jobs. For a better life. I also worked on the clemency case for Troy Davis, who was an inmate on death row for the past 20 years in Georgia, we got over 1000000 signatures. Troy did not commit the crime, because many of the original witnesses in his case recanted their statements, and said police coerced them. But, went to now avail and he was executed. </p>
<p>Race for the Cure: I was able to collect $1750 for Susan G Komen’s Race for the Cure, because in late 2010, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, so the Race for the Cure is a special event my mom and I partake in annually.</p>
<p>Adobe Imaging Seminars - Since I received a perfect score on the certification test, I’ve been invited to and attended many of Adobe’s Seminars</p>
<p>Job/Work Experience: Cashier (Universal Studios)</p>
<p>So, in late 2010, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and she had to undergo intense therapy and was out of work. So, I had to get a job in order to help out my dad. So, everyday I came home for 20 minutes, and then went to work until 11PM, then I came home, Tutored my brother until 1AM, and then I completed my own homework, then went to bed at around 4:00AM, then woke up at 6AM for rinse-wash-repeat. This is one of the reasons for my horrendous ACT score, because I had ZERO time to prepare myself for the ACT test!</p>
