do your extracurriculars in high school have to be related to your major?

I'm in 4 clubs in school and I have leadership positions in most of them, but none of them are related to mechanical engineering. Is that ok if I don't necessarily want to go to an ivy league/t20 school but still want to go to honors programs such as ASU barrett or something?

How do you respond to "tell me a bit about yourself" professionally?

I've been asked this a lot recently in scholarship applications, and I never know how to respond in a way that sounds professional. Starting with "my name is..." feels redundant when your application already has it listed. I just have no idea how to start.
