By being a freshman, I have the ability to spend more time helping kids with autism and other mental problems by volunteering more often than upperclassmen because they have a lot more commitments and they have to prepare for college, which puts me at an advantage. Having a 4.0 GPA, being such an active member in many school activities and clubs, and being a club officer in two clubs in my freshman year of high school while even seniors struggle to get a position sets me apart from everyone…
During your freshman year you enter this new territory where you don't know where anything is and you feel intimidated by all the upper classmen.

I have always been a high achiever, someone who wants to do well in what they do. I was homeschooled from first through eighth grade, and so I taught myself quite frequently.

This led to thinking about if I will possess enough knowledge about both simple school related things, and dealing with a school setting. I had never had to sit through classes, or deal with the unique social setting of school.…
