📂 Portfolio

A high school student might choose to create a portfolio because a portfolio allows you to showcase a broader range of skills, accomplishments, and experiences. Unlike a resume, which provides a concise summary, a portfolio can include work samples, projects, art, essays, and other evidence of abilities. Additionally, a portfolio offers a more comprehensive view of their capabilities, making it a valuable tool for college admissions or job applications.
