    How will colleges look at me compared to others that are applying? I hope that they will be interested in who I am and what I can bring to their campus community, and not as much on how I scored on the ACT's tests. I hope they will look at my high school achievements, all the activities both in and out of school that I have done, my volunteer work, my time on the playing field and how I have progressed academically over four years. I believe that when you look at me as a freshman three years ago and now as a senior, you will see that I have continued to push myself in my studies. Each year I have challenged myself academically by taking honors and AP classes, becoming more involved with important school clubs, and pushing myself on the playing field.…
