| ^^^ But how would they KNOW? I mean, there are kids in my class who do absolutely EVERY club. They're not good at ALL of them (I used to debate and some of them were really pathetic; I'm also in the school paper and many of them miss deadlines, etc.). Some of them will be getting leadership positions too, only because they're well-liked by the other resume-padding peers.
I don't know, I think I respect the people who show a strong passion for one or two things and then do a few other activities to balance it out. For example, my friend did debate and was amazing. He was also an extraordinary guitarist (he had perfect pitch too!), and started a very successful band. Other than that, he was in some other clubs around school, but nothing major beyond those two. He got into Yale SCEA a year ago, so that's what I'm going by. |
