Is it because you want to add another notch on your resume so you have a higher chance of getting into an Ivy League school? Because if you pretty much do nothing, there's a thousand other ways to show community service besides being a member of some cheesy student government club.
The HELL? You're already thinking about future professions this early? Have you already had a mid-life crisis? Do you have a wife and kids? Are you already a father? So let's see what "other things" you wanted to do...
My dear Kigaz. When science majors at any University get axed by Organic Chemistry, a majority of them go into politics or history majors. You usually never hear about a politics/history major getting axed by "Socratic Literature" and suddenly choosing to become a science major.
You don't know how you gained these incredible super powers to read the news, to browse the BBC, to read the New York Times, to talk to your friends, or to mingle with your teachers? Kigaz, it all stems from the heart of the cards.
Dear whoever is reading this. I am not ready to stand up for myself yet. I still have to follow my parents and the direction they show me in life. I'm just a confused teenager who loves his parents and tries to make it through my classes like everyone else.
HOLY CRAP. YOU HAD TO LEARN THAT IN AP EURO? What the hell is wrong with the K-12 education system these days? Holy crap!
Yes, yes. Lawyers help themselves by suing doctors and shoving high premiums down their necks while doctors have to bend over and pay high malpractice bills. It's not enough that doctors throw away the best years of their life and get out when they're 35 just in order to SAVE PEOPLE. Now doctors make too much damn money that everyone has to get a piece of them. Any job could theoretically help other people. Doctors just get shafted because there are so many litigators out there due to all the political science retards that go to law school that they need some way to make money in this stagnant economy. Lawyers go into politics and shaft on doctors even more. Obama is a clear case as his plans to cut down on six figure incomes in order to help the less privileged directly cut into doctors paychecks: paychecks that were discovered because time, sweat, and blood were devoted in this enterprise. And the HMOs prevent us from saving people by telling us that certain patients are "too expensive to care for" and are "lost causes." They cut into doctor's finances AND prevent us from saving people. Honestly, what's up with that crap?
And politicians are too busy bending the law backwards to even care what the ramifications are for the public. Help the community my ass. I demand a goddamn bailout. I honestly crap out $700 billion whenever I need to. Because I'm a politician.
There are no hard decisions to make in politics. You just sniff the other guys ass and he sniffs yours. Hey let's do some "pork-barrel legislation." Let's do some "log-roll" voting. Don't like the fact that the other party has the advantage, waste their time with a goddamn filibuster.
It's not that bad for high school. Since everyone will write stuff similar in nature.
My Actual Advice
1. How competitive is it to garner these leadership positions? If they're very hard to get into, then you have to show that you've walked the walk instead of just talking about greater complex issues that are beyond you, me, and our whole system of bureaucratic money-pushing.
2. Are you being yourself when you type this? Do you feel this accurately represents who you are? Or is this fluff?
3. It's tough doing stuff since you're still very young. But humility and honesty never hurt anyone. It helped me to get my job and even scholarships to be debt free.
My Lord.
1. I want to be in this class (it's not a club) because it's easy and fun. A lot of my friends are doing it, so I figure it will be fun to do it with them. There's no "notch to my belt" in doing this. It's no where near a student government club at all. This has nothing to do with college at all.
2. Yes I am thinking about future professions. I'm a Junior in High School and it's nice to think about what I'd like to do in life. I'm not just thinking about being a doctor or a politician, there are many, many things on my mind.
3. Heart of the cards indeed! I love Yugioh!
4. Now that's just mean . It isn't true. I DO want to be a doctor, and not because I was coerced into wanting to do it. Over the years, I've realized I want to actually be a doctor.
5. Yep AP Euro. God bless America!
6. Doctors who get sued are the shitty ones. Surgeons, on the other hand, get sued left and right. I agree with you on the rest of that paragraph, though.
7. I do not like that part of politics. That is the real life of politicians though. Disgusting.
8. Thanks.

1. Uhm, a lot of students sign up for it and there isn't a lot of spots in the class. I think it's like 30? students a semester, so 60 total. I MIGHT be wrong, but it's around that number.
2. I do believe this represents me about 90%. Some of it is fluff.
3. I understand, thank you.
Anyway......
Thanks Ji, I'll take that into consideration.
