HOW can you explore things that you're interested in, find friends with similar interests, meet new people, and practice important skills like team work, responsibility and respecting diversity?
YOU COULD BE A PART OF A TEAM OR CLUB! Being involved in teams and clubs in Middle School and High School is a great way to achieve all of these things, plus have lots of fun! There are so many options! Performing Arts, Academic Clubs, Service Clubs, Honor Society, Hobby Clubs, Student Government, School Newspaper, JROTC, not to mention all of the sports available. BONUS: Colleges LOVE it when students participate in these
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (any activity that you do outside of school) Doing these activities shows that you have passion and interests OUTSIDE of the classroom. Colleges offer lots of cool extracurricular options too, so you can even continue your activity if you decide to go to college or community college!
