Summer stuff:
After Freshman year; organized casserole bake-off to benefit the food bank
After Sophomore year; organized series of bake sales and food sales to benefit victims of earthquake in Sichuan, volunteered at the botanical gardens summer camp, participated in NSLC
After Junior year; accepted into Governor's School (but didn't go), instead, summer research at Duke as part of the Howard Hughes program.
**Because someone asked, I'm taking 5 APs next year, and they aren't included in my AP test section. They are AP Latin Vergil, AP Stat, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature, and AP Physics B :)
