The extra curricular activity in which I was most engaged - debating - helped shape my interests in public policy.

I spent most of high school working on the debate team, probably at some expense to my grades. Being a member of the team was great training in critical analysis, organization, and logic.

I was a political science student.

I was student council president in high school, and even in law school, I was vice-president of the student bar association.

I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active.

In high school I was president of the Student Council, and I ended up doing a lot of speeches. After you do a few in front of different schools, you get really comfortable talking in front of an audience.

I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.

I was a Political Science major.

I wasn't a particularly brilliant student, but on the other hand, I was very active in Student Union affairs and in student politics.

I campaigned on being a collaborative leader.
