Activities by Kirsten - October 2015 Scholarship Essay

There are many activities in high school available for students to participate. Arranging from sports such as volleyball, basketball, softball, baseball, cheerleading etc… There are also clubs such as quiz bowl, robotics, beta club, leadership etc..
High school only happens once in your life so why not live it to the fullest? These activities shouldn’t be enforced to participate, but they should be strongly encouraged. Doing activities in school helps with many things. It helps you to be more comfortable around your fellow students. The activities also help you to make friends, personally i play volleyball, softball and i’m in beta club, and leadership, and i have met most of my friends from this. Doing these things or whichever activity you are interested in help you to become more outgoing.
Extracurricular activities looks great on college applications. When you are applying for any scholarship or university they ask you what all you have participated in throughout high school. Some colleges you have to write a college brag sheet and it is a whole paper on what things you have accomplished and interacted in.
The point is you should always participate in extracurricular activities. It makes you a better students and allows you to blossom through your high school career.
