THESE ARE PARTS OF MY COLLEGE APPLICATION SO ANYTHING TO CHANGE WOULD HELP GREATLY!! THESE ARE JUST THE SUMMARIES OF MY EMPLOYMENTS AND TOP FIVE ACTIVITIES/AWARDS.

One of my positions was to work the kid check stand; the position of kid check required one to greet families and stamp children’s hands with their corresponding supervising adults to protect the children from being stolen by other adults. When families exited, I would check to make sure their stamps matched to those of their supervising adults and then send them off with a friendly goodbye. Another position I held was cashier; I, as cashier, would take purchases from customers and ring up their orders. I also would work the merchandise position; in merchandise I would collect tickets acquired from customers and in return give customers prizes. Each position also involved cleaning of the worker’s surrounding area and organizing of the worker’s job materials.

My duties involved cleaning the store and transferring the written documentations of each piece of merchandise into the company’s computer system.

I was blessed with the opportunity to volunteer at the Live Oak Bull Street Library by participating in their annual fundraiser, Tails with Twigs. I helped the library staff set up for the event, partake in arts and crafts with the children, and play games with the kids. Through being a member of the National Honors Society my junior year, i was able to volunteer at the Tales with Twiggs fundraiser again that year. I had such a wonderful time volunteering and gained such marvelous memories from the experience that this school year I have volunteered at the Live Oak Bull Street Library two hours every Thursday and took part in the Live Oak Children’s Book Festival.

I was awarded the Algebra I Scholastic Award and the Conceptual Physics Scholastic Award my freshman year in high school. Due to my success in the fields of math and science, I was officially nominated as a USA Mathematics Winner in the year of 2007.

I have been a Volunteer Program Aid at the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace all throughout high school. I aid the Birthplace by taking part in their Girl Scout Brownie Days where brownie scouts from all over the United States come to visit and tour Juliette Gordon Low’s, the founder of the Girl Scouts, Birthplace. I welcome the brownie troops, give them summaries of the house’s history, and assist the girls in games and crafts.

I have been an active member in the Fine Arts Club for the past three years and gained the office of President this year. Our goal is to better the school through the creativity of art. I have assisted in organizing, setting up, and participating in the annual school art show Reflections and ARTZ BLITZ, a week long program in which students get to participate in one type of art class. We also participate in volunteer art projects that our community can benefit from. For example, the Fine Arts Club partakes in the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Annual Festival of Trees and Wishes where different associations decorate Christmas trees which are auctioned off to the highest bidder; the proceeds go to non-profit organizations. Our club’s Christmas Tree took home the second highest bid last year.

I was chosen as a member of the selective club, Savannah Science Seminar. I, along with the other chosen students, attended two to three seminars where I was involved in informative presentations and participatory workshops in the fields of engineering, technology, mathematics, and the medical practices.
