| the post from a few pages back said something about giving points based on what activities you do. i have a question about that; so if being a captain of a sports team gives you points but participating doesn't, isn't that somewhat unfair? there are plenty of times when more than one person qualifies to be captain yet choices had to be made. just because someone wasn't doesn't mean they don't have what it takes to be or that they didn't try. besides, do colleges really want their entire class to all be, say, soccer team captains and such? whatever happens to diversity then? wouldn't a passionate participant of a non-varsity sport or some other kind of less-recognized ec provide more diversity and just as much passion and ability (if not possibly more)? |
