<p>Okay, so this may be a tad premature considering I’m only a high school sophomore, but I have my first appointment with my guidance counselor soon. I’m worried that I’m involved in too many things and that it will look like I haven’t found a niche, but I really have. I guess I ultimately don’t want to look like a phony, so I would really appreciate some feedback on my activities.</p>
