I went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand with a bunch of my peers last summer without the supervision of my parents for 10 days. Leading a group of my friends in a foreign country (Australia) without the supervision of my parents.

Being a part of two separate high school sports teams for 3 years (Football and Lacrosse). Taught me how to be coachable and adapt to situations that may be uncomfortable for me or daunting at first. The biggest activity I had an impact on was volunteering at a concert to help elderly guests with whatever they needed help with, whether it was getting to their seat or just needing a person to talk to, during my junior year.
