Writing Feedback / TEEN MIAMI; How extracurricular activities have influenced me [3]
Your grammar is pretty solid. You could tweak a few things here and there and make certain sentences more concise, but it's fine in this regard.
This sentence could be split up into two parts:
"Throughout the time that I dedicated to this project I had the opportunity to work hands on with the different departments of the museum and perform various tasks such as conducting oral histories and archival research, creating programs that cater to teenagers, and advertising the exhibit's opening."
Teen Miami served as a catalyst for my involvement in extracurricular activities, and so in 11th grade I sought [did you achieve both? If so, explicitly say that you became the president] out the position of historian for the Class of 2013 Student Council and in 12th grade the position of president of the National Art Honor Society.
I like the topics you mentioned. However, you should mention how you applied what you learned from Teen Miami. You could also incorporate an anecdote detailing your transition from someone who didn't value "communication and compromise" to a strong advocate for good group dynamics.
Your conclusion is on the weaker side. You can end with just the first sentence of the lat paragraph:
"With this in mind, as I enter a new epoch in my life -as a student in Maryland Institute College of Art--- [You want an em-dash (---) instead of a hyphen]I am eager to see what new opportunities will arise for me to be involved in programs and activities, and how I will improve from them."
If you want to include that last bit about that program, mention it with your student council paragraph.
This essay has good potential, you just need to add some flair to it! Good luck with your scholarship :-)
