Winning awards and honors is not a matter of waiting for them to come to you. You have to be proactive!! First, you have to do your research to seek out awards to apply to. Then, you have to enact a CONCRETE plan where you hold yourself accountable with a planner/calendar. Comment "I'm awesome" if you're seeing this!

What do you do about awards where your teacher has to nominate you? Do you ask them? (Btw are private school students eligible for state run awards?)

@dkcarey1 2 года назад

Super cute, and you're definitely right. I was just inducted into one college honor society not because someone reached out to me, but I was search graduation info and stumbled on a page. I briefly looked and said "hmmm I hit all those requirements, let me apply" and came back accepted. But despite having all my info, grades, etc... its not like someone reached out to me to let me know I was eligible. So as she says, definitely do your own search.

@jennyjiang6730 4 года назад

Hi Iris! I'm a rising junior (who is also from Oregon!) and I have a lot of different interests, like comp sci (esp Web Design), art, and public speaking. I don't know which one I am going to focus on in college. Should I find awards and competitions that sprinkle over all these subjects (what I have been doing) or only hammer down on one? I heard that being a better applicant means you go in depth in a subject and do amazing things, but so far, I am more of a student that does multiple activities and is mediocre in all of them.

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

I think for awards or any application, it's really a numbers game! I would apply to awards in all categories and see what you get. I made a video on finding your spike (for applicants who are jacks of all trades on paper). I was def like you but I was still able to find a "spike" to bring my app together!

@alexisfry9203 4 года назад

Could you make a list of awards you found through research maybe? It would be super helpful! Also, can you earn awards at the beginning of your senior year or should you just focus on college apps? Essentially, should applying for awards mostly just be junior year.

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

You can totally earn awards beginning of senior year!! I found global teen leader, future first citizen (this ones local for me), Zonta international young women in public affairs, bezos scholars, Ashoka young Changemaker, etc.

I only did this one thing in grade 9 where I won state Chinese speaking competition and went to study trip for free :(( I had to "skip" grade 10 cuz I moved from Australia to Canada and because of Covid19 I'm really worried ahhh

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

you don't have to be!!! many of my stanford friends don't even remember what they put under awards haha. the awards and honors section is truly not a big deal. it's more why you're doing certain activities and how you've grown as a person that matters

You are amazing 😉. My mom is making me skip another grade of math this summer. I am just curious if skipping many grades of different subjects are necessary. Did you skip any subjects? Thanks a lot. Fun fact, one of my friends from a higher grade than me is going to Stanford too!

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

@alphusplaine3624 4 года назад

Hello Iris! How would you go about awards that require nominations (and may have limits per school)? Do you think these are given or should you outright ask your counselor or principal to nominate you for an award? I never understood how these nominations were selected but I do know of many awards that are by nomination. Do you have any tips on asking for a nomination without sounding too pretentious? Thank you for your awesome videos!

Do volunteer awards such as the presidential service award look good or are they just another volunteering award? And things like the congressional award that are not competitive but about personal goal setting, are those good? Or should I look into more competitive awards?

Yeah they’re kinda eh bc a lot of people have them. It sounds like you’re pretty ambitious, so I’d encourage you to look into more competitive awards

I wanted to apply for the Zonta awards but it isn't offered in my region in the middle east. Most awards aren't available to me due to my geographic region. Do you have any advice?

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

Aw that sucks. I would see if they have an “at-large” region which basically means if you don’t live in an area that they specifically cover. Many awards do (like the Princeton prize in race relations). I would just search for more national level ones that don’t start form the local level, and you should be good to go!

I’m interested in math, do you know what I can do with that?

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

There are math competitions like AMC, but I’m sure there are more niche ones too if you look for them. Otherwise, you can do a math research project, or another form of a passion project surrounding math (see my vid on passion projects and/or read “how to be a high school super star”-linked this in my 10 book recs video). Hope this helps!

I can’t even get Linkedin because I’m only 14. I think the age requirement is 16. But btw I am in high school. But right now I don’t even think having a LinkedIn account would benefit me because I’m too young and haven’t done anything impressive yet.

It’s never too early to see what other people are doing though. Start on google :)

its_n you can use google regardless of age. As for LinkedIn, you can use your parent’s account or have them create one for you. There’re always workarounds!

@lydss964 4 года назад

Yeah I had the same question.

@irisfu6929 4 года назад

Yes you can, but there are many other ones (mostly leadership related) where the “competition” is an application process. For example, Global Teen Leader or Bezos Scholar. You also have to research for competitions to attend. Many times, there are weekend long competitions that you can sign yourself up for and win.
