Hi everyone! I'm a junior and I want to make sure that I use my upcoming summer break effectively to boost my college applications. What kind of summer activities or programs should I be considering? Are there any internships or volunteering opportunities that you'd recommend? Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi there! It's great that you're planning ahead for your summer and thinking about how to strengthen your college applications. There are many worthwhile activities and programs you can get involved in, depending on your interests and goals.
A good starting point is to consider what areas of interest you'd like to explore further or what career path you might want to follow. For instance, if you're into science and technology, you might want to look into research internships, coding camps, or science-related volunteering opportunities.
You could also explore internships or part-time jobs in areas that align with your future college major or intended career path. This not only helps build your resume but also gives you hands-on experience and a taste of what working in that field might be like. Don't be afraid to reach out to local businesses, non-profits, or even family friends who might be willing to give you a chance.
Best of luck, and I hope you find the perfect summer opportunity!
