Your Tennis Advantage
What are the best ways to take advantage of your four years in highschool?
I’ve been working really hard since elementary school to make sure that I get into a good university. I know that you need good grades to get into a good university, but I was wondering if whether anyone knew of any ways that i can take advantage of my four years in highschool to guarantee me the best. Any scholarship ideas?? I’m also signing up for soccer, tennis, and the swimming team. Does it help any?
Thanx
I’m working to fulfill a career in journalism or engineering…
The best thing that you can do is make yourself a well-rounded student. Grades are extremely important, but don’t brush aside extra curriculars. If you are thinking about a career in journalism, join the school newspaper or yearbook team. If you’re thinking about engineering, join a math a science club. Sports are also good, you may even be talented enough to gain an athletic scholarship. And of course, don’t forget to take part in some community service activities (which might be fulfilled through a church group).
Above all, enjoy high school. Don’t join 23 clubs and groups so your resume is 5 pages long. Pick a few things that you really enjoy, and you’re good at, and put your heart into it. Just try not to overextend yourself, otherwise, you’re likely to burn out at some point.
