As you look back over your resume, ask yourself the following questions: 1) Does this give a reader who does not know me a fair overview of what I have been doing during my high school years? 2) Is it logically put together?

4 Have I linked awards and offices held with the activities in a manner that will make sense to the reader? 3) Have I organized each section to stress the activities in which I have been most involved, that have the most meaning for me, and the most relevance to my plans? Please remember that the example above is for only one particular kind of student. Any student can do the same for him or herself. Finally, make sure to have someone other than you read it, not only for proofreading, but to make sure it all makes sense!
