Stage and
Performance Management: (8th grade- 12th grade)
8th/9th (before I moved): created taekwondo based dances for
the kids I taught taekwondo, to perform at holiday parties as well as fundraisers (including one event we held for Kosairs Children’s hospital and collectively with other groups we were able to raise 50,000$)
11th grade: decorated and set up for the school play. (Made everything from scratch and by hand, there were no props or decor prior to that play) Also have been in charge of art decor projects in the school for different holidays and events such as Independence Day, kids day, science fair etc
10th, 11th, 12th grade: Where I work I decorated the stage and main center for each major holiday or party.
Taekwondo teams (8th-9th grade) taekwondo form classes, volunteer, leadership team, demo team, dream team, worked there as well.
Work:
background info it’s my parents business which I don’t think matters bc I don’t recieve any special treatment, if anything I’m treated more strict bc they expect the best of me. I work as much as I can here to help them out financially and labor wise. I still get paid a bit which I save on the side for college.
Work about 25-30 hours a week during the school year, 60 hours a week during summer
Multiple jobs there include:
Coordinator for parties and events (make pinatas, decorate and make decorations in accordance to theme, schedule the set list of events that will occur)
On days without parties I work in the kids section where I’m a cashier and Basically babysit and oversee the kids playing there.
Volunteering:
Before I moved in 10th grade I was a dedicated volunteer for my taekwondo center. 10 hours a week volunteering, I was on a leadership team and these hours allowed me to recieve a leadership uniform and patch. I would volunteer for various things: teaching the kids taekwondo form, going to schools and working with the kids to educate them, help our community in cleaning, and fundraising for our local hospital up to 50,000$ dollars.
AMAN:
I am able to help each year put together the fundraising benifit and event in which we raise money for poor families in need of medical financial assistance. I help set up, advertise, decorate, manage, and oversee people who want to donate.
House of the orphans:
I am very lucky that through my work place I am able to extend a hand to volunteer with a very dear orphanage to me. We spend time with the kids and allow them to have a worry free day where we can educate them as well as entertain them for free in our arcade center. Luckily we are able to do this quite often.
Volunteer work with school:
Volunteer with my school with many small things such as helping at festivals, aiding teachers, assisting and creating fundraisers etc
-No AP classes because my school doesn’t offer any; however, my whole schedule is packed. I’ve had a total of 4 years for every subject:
English: A mix of comprehension and literature, grammar and vocabulary, public speaking, and creative writing
Science: 2 years of biology, chemistry, and physics
Social studies: AP human geography (in 9th grade in America before I moved), World history, sociology, psychology, economics and business
Math: Geometry, geometry, algebra 2, precalc, statistics
-Also, if it matters I was nominated and got almost a full scholarship to Global Youth Leaders Conference but I still couldn’t afford the rest so I didn’t go. I was also interested in a few summer programs and workshops at elite Ivy League schools but I couldn’t afford them.
-I also have played piano for 10 years, viola for 7 years (was first chair the whole time I was in an orchestra, and received about 3 distinguished rated solo awards), and guitar for 3 years
I’m superrrr sorry for how long this is but I just wanted to be sure everything was thorough so you guys could give me a more accurate and narrowed opinion
