Begin creating your Activities RésuméOrganize all of your extracurricular activities since 9th grade. Include all activities in both school and community. Be sure to update each year! Make sure you continue to stay active in a variety of activities throughout high school. This is VERY important in college admissions as it can distinguish you from other applicants.

Get started now if you haven’t already, because junior English teachers will assign the activity résumé in the spring!

Quality is so much more important than quantity!

Leadership, community service, and being well-rounded are very important to colleges and scholarship committees!
