Hi everyone! I’m about to enter sophomore year and I really care and worry about my future college and all kind things related to college. I’m in the IB program and I got all As in my all my classes in my freshmen year, so the only thing I worry about right now is the extracurricular activities. The only club that I joined last year is the math club ( if that is considered an extracurricular activity), and i’m going to be in it for the rest of my high school years. I’ve heard from many people that extracurriculars look good on the transcript, and that colleges care about leadership and all, but I don’t know what activity I should do because the problem is that I’m kind of shy and not really active. I really really want to involve in extracurricular activities in my school, but there are too many, plus I don’t feel like talking (but I really really want to!) since I’m not good at speaking English (I’ve only been in US for two years ) . That is my major problem:(. Please give me some advices on how and what i can do to join those kind of activities. Thank you :)
