Extracurriculars (that interest me)

A club called Writers Un-Anonymous. The purpose of this club is to let people
express themselves in a positive manner rather than negative. They talk about
community problems and issues that matter to them personally.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I really like this school. I also really like the club I mentioned. In
general, it seems like a really good school. I love the location because its still
here in california. But, its far enough from home where I can get the full
college experience. In order to reach eligibility I will maintain good grades, join
extracurriculars, and complete all of the criteria listed in the A-G list.
