College Confidential

I have been reading threads on college confidential; especially the ones regarding Harvard.  From my reading, I have found that I still have a long way to go before I am qualified to apply for Harvard!  ACT, SAT I,and SAT II are tests that I have yet to take and have 2 years to take them.  Another goal I have, is to get involved in a long-term volunteer job in a hospital and to continue volunteering for other events that allows me to demonstrate and ameliorate my leadership skills.  I am also going to stop molding myself into an individual that I think will fit into the Harvard community, for that is a main element that contributed to the rejection of many.  As my art teacher once said, "If you just be yourself, you will always be accepted".  From this, I conclude, that I must be true to myself from now on and express thoughts that are my own and not manipulated by my peers.  This will not only help me become more independent and make me a better leader, but it will also allow me to enjoy my highschool years a lot more by stopping me from seeking the approval of others at all times.
