not a leader

The bottom line is that you should do the best you can and simply see where that takes you.



This is great advice. You want to end up in a college that is a good fit for you. Do you really want to school with everybody who was the president of everything and feel like you don’t measure up all the time? No. You want to go to a school that has a decent program in what interests you and where you will fit in and be happy.

I would recommend that you stop running for office. That’s just not you. You probably aren’t Mr/Ms Politician. Instead, join something that interests you and accomplish something there. Actually do something rather than just hold a title. For instance, one person might be the president of a club, but another may be the one who organized the yearly fundraiser. This is leadership, too.

Northstarmom mentioned getting a job and that’s another great suggestion. That will demonstrate a work ethic and that you don’t think you are too good to work hard.
