Post below! What are some good things to be doing with your time out of school? Anything works 
My thoughts:
- Starting a club
- Playing a sport
- Volunteering @ nursing home
- Babysitting
- Working a job
- Model UN
- Antidrinking/antidrugs club
I do dog therapy @ the hospital too…
- discover a cure for cancer
- discover a cure for Alzheimer's
- invent a superior self-driving car
- make a robot that does something current production robots can't do
- publish the Great American Novel
- free-climb Halfdome
- win the Boston Marathon
- rescue a family of five from North Korea
- build an F1 car
- translate a book-length poetic sequence from Classical Farsi
- circumnavigate the globe in a human-powered submersible
- discover an unknown celestial body and name it "Leroy"
This is fun!
Ah, very helpful. Thank you…
Really anything you are passionate about and work hard at (bonus points if you are successful) that isn’t like an illegal/frown upon activity is what I would consider a ‘benefical EC’ for college apps (which I assume is what you are talking about)
Dog therapy sounds really intresting! I’m signed up to start training to help out with equine assisted therapy soon!
