Remove this. A resume will be glanced at, make the most interesting information first. Assume the person looking at it, if it is looked at, will have a stack of 500, and an hour to "read" them all.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
• Wayne State University, Detroit, Mi. (2007-)
• Major: Biology (Pre-Med)
• XXXXX High School, XXXXXX, MI. (2004-2007)

• AP American History (2007)
• AP Spanish (2007)
• Anatomy (2007)

Cut this out. Explain in the cover letter why you don't have work experience. Don't flaunt it here.
SPECIAL SKILLS
• Semi-Fluent in Spanish.
• Can type 85 words per minute.

No problem. I have read a lot of books on it. This was the best: http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Re.../dp/0735204047
Almost everything I said is from that book. (I have a good memory).
Hope so.

It's not necessary to have an objective, but it doesn't hurt. They can just skip it.

An objective, especially the one above, hurts. It is obvious out of a manual, and boring. An objective would be good if you have a really specific one besides "get money and experience".
