<p>Regarding her already-excellent EC profile: you asked if anything is missing. All I’d say is, as she develops in the coming year, you might prompt her to look for openings or opportunities to show “leadership” as that’s an application parameter when describing one’s EC’s. </p>
<p>Become editor is an example of leadrship, so brava to her. As next year goes along, if she has a chance to be in charge, at some level, of the choir, or be elected president or officer (vp, treasurer) of any of her clubs, give her a thumbs-up (but not a hard shove) to try a leadership role. </p>
<p>To volunteer at school and church is plenty good. Sometimes beyond that gets in the way of their evening schedules and academics. </p>
<p>If anything begins to go sour on any of the activities in school or church, then you can realize there are other community-based offerings. Our D had no in-school opportunity to get choir on her schedule, for example, and our synagogue had no choral group. But she loved music! So once a year she’d join in an adult choir at a church, rehearse 8 weeks and then perform with them, because they sang some beautiful masterworks. That’s just an example of how, if she has a real interest or passion, she can pursue it outside of school and church offerings, but only if those disappoint her or can’t be scheduled.</p>
