 	      and missing a practice would lead to a lack of cohesion in the final performance. In this band, I ensure that I attend every
 	      practice and performance, and I have never had an absence or reprimand. Although our final work is paid through ticket sales,
 	      all revenue is donated to local charities, and I take pride in knowing that my work is helping those in need.
-	\item % Debate Judging
+	\item For three years, I have been an NSDA certified judge, judging Middle School Debate tournaments in my local area.
-	\item % Tutoring volunteering perhaps
+	      My duties include evaluating debaters on argumentation, speaking style, and providing constructive feedback to help them improve.
-	\item % Discord server "work"
+	      Each tournament lasts a full day, and I am expected to judge numerous rounds (at times six or more) with minimal breaks.

+	      Not only do I have to maintain focus and attention throughout the day, but I also have to judge impartially,
+	      as not doing so would completely undermine the integrity of the tournament. After updating availability, I cannot
+	      drop out of a tournament or a round, as the tournament relies on a planned agenda to run smoothly. My greatest hurdle has
+	      been setting aside my own political bias, as I have heard numerous speeches and arguments supporting views I both
+	      strongly agree and disagree with. I overcame this challenge by shifting the criteria at those times to the efficacy of argument
+	      and speaking style, rather than the content itself.
+	      Outside of judging I am responsible for for writing topics for each tournament, reviewing all updated rules and topics,
+	      and reporting behavioral incidents. Overall, I have judged over 50 rounds of debate without a single absence, and I
+	      hope that I have been a fair adjudicator of the activity I love.
+	\item For the last three years, I have been tutoring in math and science on and off. I initially started tutoring
+	      competition math to middle schoolers through my own paid company I had started when in middle school.
+	      The tutoring service was unique, offering a problem-based approach instead of a topic-based approach, prioritizing
+	      problem-solving skills and critical thinking. As I was the
+	      only person running the tutoring service, I had to find my own clients, schedule sessions, and prepare lesson plans.
+	      Halfway through my ninth grade, I only had one customer, so I decided to pivot my skills to instead offer free tutoring
+	      to my peers in my high school. Through my school's ACE tutoring program and my own study Discord server,
+	      I have been able to help numerous students in
+	      Calculus, Chemistry, and even history. Each session requires significant preparation, as I have to explain
+	      the concepts in an intuitive manner that struggling students can understand. So far, I have received positive feedback
+	      from my students, and I always prioritize their learning and understanding above all else.
+	\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.
