<p>I have to present another view. When D started hs she was very busy with dance studio, travel soccer and youth group. She also took a challenging academic load. I was OK with no EC’s at school. What she and I soon found though was that even with many friends she lacked a certain “connection” to the school. By winter season she had joined the cheer team and it made a difference. Since then she dropped soccer and has changed her youth group focus to summer mission trips. She has stayed very involved in dance and got into some school EC’s including the dance team (which was very hard to get selected for).</p>
<p>In short , I would recommend that she do some sort of activity at the school, perhaps a club rather than a sport (less time commitment) or stage crew rather than acting since she’s likes theater.Just something to give her that connection.</p>
