As a high school class representative, what should I be focusing on to impress colleges?

Hey friends! I've recently been elected as a class rep and was curious about what specific responsibilities or projects would stand out to a college. Any current class officers willing to share tips for making a tangible impact while in this role?

Congratulations on your election as class representative! As a class rep, leadership will be a key quality that colleges notice. Focus on initiating projects or reforms that have a lasting impact on your school community.

For example, organize a mentorship program for underclassmen or start a sustainability initiative to reduce the school's environmental footprint. It's not just about having the title, but what you actually do with it. Leadership roles provide a great opportunity to demonstrate your ability to lead a team, problem solve, and make a difference.

Remember, it's the impact of your actions and the ability to bring positive change that will truly impress, not just the title you hold. Good luck in your new role!
