 \begin{enumerate}
-	\item I founded the Cricket Club at my current high school. As a founder, I was responsible for
-	      popularizing the club itself by recruiting members and advertising through Instagram and word-of-mouth. I
-	      organized practice sessions and I had to act as both a player and a coach, teaching new players the rules and
-	      pushing them through the sport's steep learning curve. Each practice itself proved a hurdle, as I had to
-	      find enough people to play at a common place and time, manage equipment, and ensure that everyone was engaged.
-	      Due to the nature of a first year club, I had to help bridge the high delta between experienced and new players,
-	      ensuring that everyone had fun while still being challenged. Then, I had to organize matches with other
-	      local high school teams, which involved coordinating with their club leaders, arranging transportation, and
-	      managing logistics. Through sponsorships from local businesses and colleges (UTD, RICE, DBU), I was able to
-	      fund equipment and provide support for club matches.
-	\item I serve as the Co-Captain and Software Lead for my school's First Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics team.
-	      As the only programmer of our initially rookie team, I was fully writing out every line of code for our robot.
-	      However, funds became a major hurdle, so I also filled in to help secure a \$750 sponsorship from Texas Instruments
-	      through outreach events. As our team grew, I had to take on recruiting of new members, carefully selecting students who
-	      would be a good fit for our programming and engineering needs. Once our team reached 5 programmers, I fully
-	      transformed our repository into a GitHub organization, with multiple repositories
-	      for each team member to experiment with
-	      hands-on. I also had to delegate specific tasks and manage deadlines to ensure that our software development stayed on track.
-	      For the FTC competition, I was also in charge
-	      of documenting our software iterations and innovations, which proved crucial in winning multiple awards
-	      for software design and innovation.
-	\item I am the Vice President (and former underclassmen president) of my school's Science Fair Club.
-	      As an officer, it is my role to fully lead and plan our club's biweekly lunch meetings. This involves brainstorming engaging
-	      activities with other officers, and preparing 35-40 minutes detailed presentations on various aspects of science fair projects.
-	      I have prepared extensive materials on project brainstorming, project methodology, data analysis, and trifold tips to help guide
-	      over 90 active club members. Additionally, I help students one-on-one through email or in-person (after meetings) to share
-	      my experience to help students make the right decisions. Finally, as a student who has been intimidated by
-	      the science fair process, I plan and cater my presentations to help lower the barrier to entry for new students and underclassmen,
-	      recruiting members by making science fair more approachable.
-	\item From halfway in my 9th grade to now, I have started, owned, and am fully maintaining a Discord study server for our school's
-	      student class of 2027. As the owner, I am fully responsible for a managing a team of 8 voted moderators, and I have
-	      to ensure that everybody's voices are heard. As the server is run through Discord, arguments and disagreements can
-	      easily escalate, so I have to step in as a neutral party to mediate and resolve conflicts. It was through these Discord
-	      "blow-ups" that I started learning how to be a better leader and work with others. I have poured over 300 hours into
-	      this server, managing over 100 active members. Housing over 50\% of the class (at its peak) was a daunting task, and I
-	      had to deal with revolts and mass exodus of members multiple times. From arguments about the "wetness of water" to
-	      kicking me out of my own server, I have seen and managed all of these conflicts. Now, our server is a stable and
-	      thriving community, with valuable study resources, popular group study calls, and constant member engagement through
-	      general (and of-topic) text channels.
+	\item I am the founder and president of the Cricket Club at my current high school. I identified a gap in our school's athletic program and built the Cricket Club into a sustainable organization with 25+ active members. As founder, I recruited members through Instagram campaigns and word-of-mouth outreach. I organized and ran biweekly practice sessions, acting as both player and coach to guide new members through the sport's steep learning curve. Each practice required coordinating schedules across 25+ students, securing field space, managing equipment, and ensuring everyone stayed engaged. As a first-year club, I worked to bridge the skill gap between experienced cricketers and complete beginners, ensuring everyone was challenged while still having fun. I also organized matches with other local high school teams, coordinating with their club leaders, arranging transportation, and managing all match-day logistics.
+
+	\item I serve as Co-Captain and Software Lead for my school's First Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics team. As the sole programmer on our initially rookie team, I developed the entire codebase for our competition robot from scratch. When funding became a critical obstacle, I secured a \$750 sponsorship from Texas Instruments through targeted outreach. As our team expanded, I recruited new members, strategically selecting students based on our programming and engineering needs. Once we grew to five programmers, I restructured our development workflow by creating a GitHub organization with multiple repositories for collaborative experimentation and version control. I delegated tasks and managed project deadlines to keep our software development on schedule. For competitions, I led documentation of our software iterations and technical innovations, which contributed to winning the Innovate and Control awards.
+
+	\item I serve as Vice President (and former underclassmen president) of my school's Science Fair Club. As an officer, I lead biweekly lunch meetings for 90+ active members, collaborating with fellow officers to design engaging activities and delivering 35-40 minute presentations on critical aspects of science fair projects. I have developed comprehensive instructional materials covering project brainstorming, methodology, data analysis, and trifold design to guide students through the competition process. Beyond meetings, I provide one-on-one mentorship via email and in-person consultations, helping students navigate project decisions based on my own competition experience. Drawing from my initial intimidation with the science fair process, I specifically design presentations to lower the barrier to entry for new students and underclassmen, making a traditionally daunting competition more accessible.
+
+	\item From halfway through my 9th grade to now, I have founded, owned, and maintained a Discord study server for my school's class of 2027. As owner, I manage a team of eight elected moderators and facilitate democratic decision-making to ensure all members' voices are heard. Because disagreements can escalate quickly online, I regularly serve as a neutral mediator to de-escalate and resolve conflicts between members. I have dedicated over 300 hours to managing this server, which has supported 100+ active members and, at its peak, engaged over 50\% of our class. I have navigated challenges ranging from minor disputes to major conflicts, including attempts to remove me as owner, requiring diplomacy and conflict resolution under pressure. Today, the server is a stable and thriving community offering curated study resources, regular group study calls, and consistent engagement through academic and social channels.
+
+	\item I serve as the Chemistry Officer (and former Math Officer) for my school's tutoring club, ACE. My primary role is to supervise student volunteers who create review materials for Chemistry, delegating units and topics to contributors and reviewing all posted resources to ensure accuracy and appropriateness. I also organize and monitor live tutoring sessions for AP Chemistry, both in-person and via Zoom, serving 20-30 students per session. My most demanding responsibility is stepping in to complete any unfinished materials or host sessions when other volunteers are unavailable, requiring me to maintain flexible availability to ensure a seamless experience for students seeking academic support.
+
+	\item I serve as the Technology Officer for my school's National Honor Society chapter. In addition to my technical duties, I moderate service events for 200+ student volunteers, managing both participant behavior and the execution of service activities to ensure productive community impact. I also represent our chapter at leadership conferences such as LEAD, where I collaborate with officers from other NHS chapters to develop and share innovative leadership strategies.
+
+	\item In my freshman year, I served as an officer for my school's Math Club. As an officer, I presented approximately one-quarter of our weekly sessions to 15+ students, designing and delivering engaging lessons on mathematical applications and concepts such as mathematical card tricks and calculator programming. I was also responsible for maintaining detailed attendance records for each meeting to track participation requirements for the Mu Alpha Theta honor society.
