Hello, everyone! With all the hype surrounding the importance of having at least semi-focused extracurriculars, i have begun worrying about mine. could you please glance over my list, and see if it appears that i have been “padding” my resume?


mayor’s youth council
class treasurer
Habitat for Humanity President
German Club Board Member
International Relations Club Board Member
German Exchange Program organizer (with sister school in Germany)
Academic Team 2-year Captain
NHS Officer
Tutor at my school and downtown
Captain of Baseball team (not good enough to be recruited :/
Captain of Cross Country team
Work at DQ in summer


I joined the clubs that interested me, and in no conscious way tried to pad my resume. I’m just worried I’ll come off as just another crazy-busy high schooler to the big schools. My three biggest passions are German, government, and community service…is that clear? Should I delete NHS and Tutoring? Thanks for your time!
