Why I Want To Pursue A Career In High School

I've accomplished quite a bit in the few short years I've been in high school: I’ve participated in the school’s Literary Magazine, helped start a GSA program with a few other friends, taken a number of honors courses, became apart of our Academy of Information Technology, started teaching a dance class for younger children, and quite a bit more.
