So I’m junior in HS and I think it’s now or never if I want to get some new ECs. I’m thinking majoring in International Relations, so maybe something that is connected to that? In my country (I’m international), we do not have same kind of EC culture than in the US. No clubs or sports connected with school. Only universities have clubs for their students and so on. I’m part of national UN club for young ppl (but just a “normal” member), I’ve done riding for 10yrs now and still doing, last summer I spent few weeks abroad working with horses and I also spent 2014-2015 school year abroad (exchange year). I’m also very interested on airplanes and airports :D. I’m also working on starting a “European Youth Parliament” thing in my school. I also have a own business name, I like to photograph horse shows a lot. But I think I need something more, I have plenty of time to do more stuff!
YAY! It’s another horseback rider! Gosh riding in Europe sounds amazing! What discipline do you do?
Maybe you could do some volunteer work. That’s always good and it might give you good exposure to people in all walks of life and of many different cultures. I’m going to start volunteering at a therapeutic riding in a few months once they have training again and I’m really excited.
Could you get a job at an airport, like working at the desk or something? I don’t even know if high schoolers could do that, but is worth a shot.
@Madeline25 I’m doing jumpers and dressage! Ah, yes, volunteering, I’ve done like 300h volunteering in horse shows (jump crew mostly) but that is a good idea to look up other volunteering opportunities, thank you. I’m 18 so basically I can do any kind of job, but in my country, they usually need some kind of college degree or special education/training and they usually want a person who can work full day (and I can’t bc of shcool). But, thank you!
