These are the things I plan to stay committed to until senior year (and gap year(s)):
- Volunteering in a clinic (I am a translator for doctors). I schedule myself whenever I want to. In a normal week, once. During no school, almost everyday.
- Volunteering in a hospital. I did this since high school, stopped freshman year, will begin again (this week actually). I'm not sure what I will do, but supervisor told me something that involves patient contact. Once a week.
- I run an optional "course" for students who take Calculus. I receive credit and do have to do homework/learning research project. One year, not sure if I want to continue. On my transcript it is labeled as "Teaching in the "STEM" courses".
- I did a full summer of research my freshman year summer. It was great, I learned SO much, but not sure where to go from here. Had the option to be a lab maid or run independent projects. Will choose one ASAP.
- Volunteered in a Central-American country for a week. Plan to do a few more of these trips by the time I apply. I understand it is controversial, but I enjoyed it.
- Shadowing a doctor this summer. How many hours should I aim for?
- Get some kind of certification so I can work in a hospital during my junior year summer/senior year summer/whenever they need someone during the years.
- Teaching a CPR class. Not sure how this exactly works, I missed the first orientation.
- Some kind of volunteering that is not medical.
