The Official High School Activities Thread

[Smile_Awhile]

I was a HUGE drama geek in high school. But since my major is theatre, no one should be surprised...

National Merit Scholarship Finalist
-I didn't get the scholarship from the National Merit Corporation, but I still get bragging rights and a fancy scholarship from my university
Beta Club
National Honor Society
EAST Lab- basically, a community service class that uses technology as the mode of service. I'd do video work for various organizations for free. I learned how to use professional grade video cameras and software.
International Thespian Society
-on the cabinet all three years, president my final year
Troubadours (drama club)
Forensics (the theatrical kind, not CSI)
- I had a lot of finalist and third place trophies to my name. I was also a captain of our squad my senior year.
Musicals- Seussical (chorus), Footloose (Wendy Jo)
Plays- Juvie (Carrie), DUI=DOA (Bus Child #2)

DUI=DOA was the most awful play I've ever read...

I was also inducted into a French honor society my senior year, but that wasn't a big deal.

It's interesting to see how many different activities schools have, wow!
I went to a tiny, rural high school so we didn't have a lot of clubs or organizations sadly! I was in:
Drama Club
International Thespian Society (founding member; officer)
Stage Manager for 3 plays
FCCLA (officer)
FBLA
Key Club (officer)
Scholar Bowl
Science Olympiad
NHS
Art Club
I worked 20 hours a week at a fast food place, then one of those phone survey places, then Dollar General.
I graduated a semester early.

Wow, I feel completely worthless compared to many of you...

Softball - 4 years, one year as captain
Golf - 3 years, two years as captain
GAA Intramurals
Spanish Club - 3 years
Social Dance Club - 3 years, one year an officer

That's about it. Does being on the honor roll count?

I also worked about 10 hours a week at a marketing consulting firm, where I would type up transcripts of recorded telephone interviews. Sometimes I conducted the interviews. Fun stuff!
