His interest in politics caused Ansari to participate in Youth in Government. High scnool students from throughout the state ran the capitol for three days in January. Ansari served in the House of Representatives as vice president. In ninth grade, Ansari was vice president of personnel in Junior Achievement, a program designed to learn about American business. During his sophomore year, he participated in cross country. He also won third place in the extemporaneous speaking category of Declamation. Ansari became involved in this because he wanted to improve his public speaking ability. He also took an acting course at Macalester under the direction of Frank Plut during the summer of his junior year. Ansari joined the Hoofers at the same time, resulting in him being able to perform in London. He became interested in joining the Hoofers because he thought it would be fun and was really excited about it. As a junior, he also participated in soccer, playing on the junior varsity team. He also worked on the newspaper staff, writing for the news section. With all these activities in which he was involved, Ansari still chose to take seven classes, most of them being enriched, and somehow managed to be on the honor roll each quarter.

After high school graduation, he plans to go to college, possibly to become a professor. f Singing with expression, Omar Ansari performs a number with the Hoofers.
