Ten young YSA Service Stars from across the United States represented their generation and were recognized by Miley at her Sweet 16 birthday party at Disneyland on Sunday, Oct. 5th. "Kids have always been a big part of making the world a better place, so my Sweet 16 is all about doing something good for somebody else and the world," says Miley Cyrus. "I'm working with Youth Service America because we share the belief that young people shouldn't wait until they grow up before they start changing the world. I was so excited to meet the 10 YSA Service Stars, because they represent millions of young people in my generation who are out there changing the world for the better," Cyrus adds. As part of the star-studded celebration, Disney Chairman Bob Iger presented Youth Service America with a check for one million dollars to support its work. "We cannot thank Miley and Disney enough," says Steve Culbertson, president and CEO of Youth Service America. "Young people are the hope of today, and we need their energy, commitment, idealism, and creativity to solve the world's problems. American children and youth are volunteering at record rates, more than any generation in history. They are teaching others to read, raising money for disaster relief, and developing sophisticated projects to address everything from hunger and homelessness to malaria and global warming," Culbertson adds. To honor the occasion and Miley's philanthropic passion, Disneyland created "Miley's Sweet 16 - Share the Celebration," an unforgettable event for Miley and her fans that served to recognize Youth Service America and help drive awareness of the need for youth volunteerism. For more information: www.disneyparks.com/miley. Miley and YSA invited 10 YSA Service Stars to the birthday celebration, based on their exemplary efforts in learning about and tackling serious social issues, engaging other youth in important roles, and promoting the importance of youth leadership in improving communities. They represent millions of other American children and youth engaged in service to their community and country.

Seniors feeling the stress of competition for college Many applicants, few slots for elite tier of universities By MEREDITH BAKER Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Oct. 17, 2008, 9:23PM As an incoming senior, I have heard and read nothing for the past few years but reports about how my graduating class will have the toughest time yet getting into college. The graduating class of 2009 is the peak of the "baby boom," with roughly 4.1 million kids born in the years 1990 and 1991. So with more students applying, and in general, no more spots in most colleges, the competition is rising and the admission rates are falling. Take for instance Stanford's class of 2012. Only 2,400 students out of 25,298 were accepted, meaning the acceptance rate was 9.5 percent. Two years ago Stanford had about 6,000 fewer applicants and an acceptance rate of 13 percent. For students interested in attending more competitive schools, the pressure continues to mount. I have witnessed and experienced firsthand the stress the college application process has on kids and parents alike. Some of my friends focus all their high school activities around those that they think college admission boards want to see. One of my friends, also a senior in high school, has a college consultant, an ACT entrance-exam tutor, belongs to four school clubs, and is captain of a sports team. While she enjoys some of these activities, she admits they are mainly to pad her resume. "With so many smart kids that have so much going for them at my school, I feel pressured to take on a full plate so I too look like I haven't been slacking. I participate in some of these activities only to help me to get into the college of my choice." She isn't alone in thinking colleges are looking for a long list of achievements and activities. Jennifer Dejarlais, Dean of Admission at Wellesley College, insists this isn't the case. "We don't want to see a laundry list of things that the student dabbled in. We try to figure out who the student is and what they are interested in based on the choices they make." Dejarlais says she always asks herself "why?" "Why did the student make that choice, why did the student pursue music instead of volleyball? When students focus in on a particular interest and give explanations for their choices, their application tells me more about them than a student who did something for the sake of listing it off on their application." Vu Tran, Director of Admissions at UCLA, agrees. He tells students, "Be a leader; be passionate; engage in activities in a way that demonstrates your commitment and leadership; make it show in your personal statement." While we know that colleges are looking for students who are involved and passionate, it is difficult to maintain perspective and hard not to get caught up in this application frenzy. I find myself comparing my transcript, my extracurricular activities and my SAT scores to those of other students. How will I measure up? What if we apply to the same school? Should I have joined Model UN to show my interest in international affairs? Should I have taken a different mix of courses? This stiff competition has left my friends and me on edge - wondering if we are "worthy" enough for admission to the colleges of our choice. Ideally, parents should be the even keel in this process, providing positive reinforcement and support. But I'm afraid that parents can get caught up in this mindset as well and can add to the stress of the process. Many have been reminding their kids for years that if they don't do well and don't excel, they won't get into a "good" college. I don't really know how to slow down this avalanche and introduce reasonableness into this process. There are so many outstanding students and the top schools have their pick of the best. We've all heard horror stories about the kid with perfect SATs who won the National Science Fair, published a book and started a charity but didn't get into any of his schools. Maybe it is high school lore, maybe it is true. The admission representatives at all the colleges I've visited so far (NYU, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford) do stress the importance of pursuing something you love, in depth, rather than having a long list of activities to fill in all the lines, but the message just isn't sinking in. And while it is great if you have found your passion in high school, isn't high school a time to try lots of different things? I know many smart kids who are good at many things but have not yet found the one activity or sport or cause that really resonates with them, which will, unfortunately, put them at a disadvantage. So with my transcript and GPA set, all I can do is remind myself that there is a life before, during, and after college admissions. While I am intently focused on finishing and tweaking my application, this too will pass and life will go on. Getting into the "best" college has not been the be-all and end-all of my high school career but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the stress right now is a bit more than I'd like. I recognize that a college education is what I make it. A college experience is what I make it. So I tell myself that whatever happens in April, I know I'll find a college that I like and likes me in return. I have worked hard and have done well through high school, while pursuing my passions of writing and broadcast journalism. I know that my interests outside of school will shine through on my application and I can only hope it will be enough for those colleges I apply to, to look at me on paper and say "I can see Meredith Baker at our university." Baker is the teen correspondent for Great Day Houston on Channel 11, the teen blogger for KHOU.com, the teen columnist for the Queens Courier Newspaper in New York and a contributor to the Houston Chronicle. Baker is a senior at Clear Lake High School and can be contacted at meredithbaker07@gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This system allows for mapping both the assets and needs (hopes and dreams) of individuals and the resources of organizations across all sectors. Additionally, it is fully integrated with both volunteer tracking and advanced geo-mapping technologies. You may find a great deal of downloadable material about this system at: www.thecommunityconnection.org . Connecticut Assets Network is presently working with Search InstituteR supporting a national pilot using CCAMP for asset mapping to advance their HC/HY initiatives. CCAMP gives these HC/HY groups the power to build awareness of their initiative among organizations across every sector of the community. It also captures which assets are being supported by each organization and exactly what they are doing to support those assets. CT Assets network will have a booth at the Search Conference and, as we did last year, sponsor a workshop presentation on Friday, Nov. 7th from 10:30am to 12:00pm--# F-4: Broadening Public Involvement in your Assets Initiative for Mobilization and Community Connection. For information about our Free Live Demonstrations of CCAMP on the Internet, please visit www.thecommunityconnection.org . If interested in participating, simply send us an email with your affiliation and contact information and the date you wish to participate. Thanks and hope to see you all at the Conference!
