One thing I do want to emphasize though is that I hope I won’t be studying for an test/AP exam/SAT or joining a club all for college. For some reason, counselors and teachers always say to do volunteer work/clubs purely for an acceptance letter rather than participating if you have an authentic interest. I find this very misleading and useless, I mean who would want to be attending a club that they have no interest in other than the HOPE of getting into their dream school. Doesn’t seem logical to me. Regardless I hope to stay true to myself and make the best with what I’ve got.
