Clubs and Organizations
In many high schools, there is a wide variety of clubs and activities available for students to join. Clubs and activities are a great way to find where you belong in your high school social community and to find your niche among students with similar interests and goals.
Extracurriculars allow you to pursue your current interests and passions and perhaps even find ones you didn’t know you had. Thus, when you’re looking for clubs to join, try to pursue a mix of activities that you are familiar with and ones that may be out of your comfort zone. You’ll have plenty of time throughout high school to narrow down which ones are best for you.
Regardless of which activities you join, it’s important to get involved in your high school community for the sake of your college applications. Colleges want to see that their students are well-rounded and can handle multiple responsibilities at once throughout high school, and extracurricular involvement is a sure sign of both.
