Involvement / Interests
High school is a great place to learn and practice your interests and skills. With a variety of sports, clubs, organizations, student government, music and art opportunities, and more, this is a great time to take advantage of your resources. Getting involved can not only help you get into college, but can be a big factor in learning who you are—developing your leadership skills, organizational skills and people skills.

Also, think outside of high school. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities within your community in which you may be interested in participating. Experience the invaluable rewards of helping out at a church, soup kitchen or local charity group. Chances are these experiences may help you get into college. Better yet, they may even help you choose your career.
