Rip apart my resume?
Title says it all. Internship search has been unsuccessful so far, want to improve my resume in any way possible!
Thank you!

Pretty sure I got rid of everything that I was supposed to, but please let me know if I didn't so I can change it
Generally from what I have seen after the first year or so of college you remove things from high school. With that taken out possibly make a section just for skills. My $0.02.
I wanted to take off the high school stuff (library, track) but a senior going into S&T advised me to hold onto them until I had one more thing (and they like to see that I try to be athletic??). I think the TTS workshop gives me that one extra thing to expand on, so I will make sure to do that before sending it out anymore. I will also make sure to discuss the valuation process and everything else you mentioned. Always love when someone is willing to give a few minutes to volunteer their help, really appreciate it!
Cool to be athletic, not cool to hang on to your HS glory days (not saying you are). Track is also known to be home to pretty mediocre athletes (again, not saying you are but it doesn't have the same cache as FB). It's not terrible since you are a sophomore, but I would try to eliminate stuff from HS ASAP. Add atheleticism in your interests line if you still run, even non-competitively.
This is a pretty good resume, though. Keep pushing. Also, if you fail at unpaid internships remember that you can do job shadows, etc. Try to find a fall internship too--you're in the CHI area, take advantage. Leverage this board, see if people are working in CHI. Don't be creepy, obviously, but if someone mentions it, it doesn't hurt to ask if they know anyone in the area who might be willing to take an unpaid intern.
OP is doing everything correctly with his other topic, this resume topic, and the humility in both.
New younger folks: take note.
Also, @"MerinoDraped" is right, you're doing everything right. I appreciate the humility and genuine eagerness to want to improve. Good luck and take eeeverything anyone says here or in real life with a grain of salt. I try to avoid it but no matter how careful one is they will slip and state opinion as fact occasionally.
