Starting Clubs:
I have a good idea for a new club at my high school. However, it might be very time consuming and a little difficult to organize during my freshman year. Should I start it early as a freshman or start it later (sophomore or junior)? I know that the new club should be something I’m passionate about (and it is!) and not just for college, but I have to ask, “Do colleges like it when high school students start clubs early and continue the clubs all the way through high school, or does it not really matter?” The only reason I’m considering doing it later is because I might be very busy (but I’ll assess that later after high school starts :P).

Joining Clubs:
I plan to join the Math Club (definite throughout HS), the Science Olympiad Club (definite in freshman yr), and possibly the Speech and Debate Club at my school. Will this be too much during my freshman year (I am taking 2 AP courses and I am trying out and will hopefully make JV Tennis ). :))
