Stanford (elaborate on one of your activities) essay:

Girl Scouts National Board Leadership Lanes is a select group of 24 diverse young women in the United States. Our purpose is to create a permanent forum for the girl voice and girl leadership in the policy-making entity of Girl Scouts of the USA. We have come together as a group twice in 2009 at the Edith Macy Conference Center in New York. As one of two girls who has been chosen to serve as a girl member of the Advocacy Task Group, I am charged with attending monthly webinars in order to provide insight to the National Board on what their constituents will feel about the latest items on their agendas. Beyond our meetings, I conduct research for the National Girl Scout Research Institute and I also act as a liaison between the Scouts in California, and the dignitaries of GSUSA.

Well, that's all very nice. But why do you do all this? What does it mean to you? And how does this relate to your plans for attending university?

Yeah...I forgot to make a comment before my entry, but I didn't know if I was SUPPOSED to include that information in my essay. But now that I know that I should, I'll change it around. Thanks!
