With the experience I have gained in working at the zoo，I see myself emerging as a natural leader.Leaders are those few who do manage to balance the use of their "lever and fulcrum."In high school，I also have worked my way to positions such as； NHS President，Steel Drums Ensemble President，and Student representative to the School Board.Leadership roles like these are not something I plan to make the past after high school.In a school like CALS that has so many extracurricular activities to get involved in，I am sure obtaining positions similar to the ones I hold now would not be difficult.One of the clubs that I have seriously explored is the Pre-vet Society.veterinary School is something that I plan to pursue after college and hope to get involved in at the undergraduate level.
The building of a successful lever has only just begun for me.There is still so much that I have not seen or done.Life is full of opportunities that can lead to great experiences，one of my greatest being volunteering at the Woodland Zoo.With all of the opportunities CALS has to offer，if given the chance to attend，I am certain that I would utilize every one； becoming not only an active member of the university，but a leader of tomorrow.
考官點評：
這篇文章圍繞著“杠杆和支點”展開論述，以此來表達自己對生活中支點的理解。在文章開頭，作者就引用了阿基米德的名言。當在一篇文章中引用名人名言時，最好再用自己的話闡述一下名言的意義，或是自己從中得到的感悟。在這一點上，作者是非常用心的。他認為，生活中的經驗與機會是杠杆，熱情和個人價值就是那個必不可少的支點。缺少支點，人生的杠杆再好也發揮不了作用。這樣的隱喻即突出了作者的寫作水平，也讓考官了解他的思維和個性。
在第二段，作者告訴讀者：“為了修築我人生中成功的杠杆，我為自己尋找了大量的經驗和機會。”接下來，作者就詳細描述了這些“經驗和機會”，雖然從第一段的杠杆支點隱喻到第二段的經驗描述略顯唐突，但動物園那段“猴保姆”經曆一下子就把上述的唐突衝淡了，讀起來非常有趣。但作者寫這些並不僅僅為了逗笑考官，而是還想告訴他——我對動物科學很感興趣。
