college
I am looking to get a college scholarship. My family is middle class and with two children, is in no position to pay for 2 full college educations. I take school very seriously for that simple reason.
I'm in advanced placement (AP) and Honors level classes. Presumabely in the the top 10% of my class.
Participated in extracurricular activities like the yearbook committee (3 years), newspaper club (3 years), student council (3 years), field hockey (3 years), creative writing courses (3years)
Have around 600 hours of community service in hospitals, homeless shelters, state forest clean-ups, etc;
job experience in waitressing, and at a local store for the past 4 years.
Any suggestions to make a better impression upon colleges?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

What you should do is go to your school guidance councilor to help you. They can help you figure out what is the right choice for you, personally, and help you apply. Many don't realize that is part of their job, so they don't know to take advantage of their help.
They can tell you what will look great on your college applications, and if you need to do something else for it, they will help you set it up.
Trust me- they WANT you to further your education and will do all they can to see that you do.
Scholarships aren't all there is to pay for college, if you happen to not get one. There are student loans, student grants, financial aide, etc. Like scholarships, you can get grants you don't have to repay. The councilor will help you apply for all of these.
