ECs show how you interact with peers and the involved adults, how you meet the expectations-and yes, how willing you are to stretch. (I suspect you do more of this than you realize.) If you already like gardening, the suggestion to vol with a community garden can give you a chance to handle some responsibilities and do some good. You show up on time, have a few pleasant words for others, learn about your abilities and it’s low pressure.

In the long run, leadership isn’t about titles and fame as much as how you dig into what you do, how you try, and how people can count on you, in various ways. Just think about it.
