Yes, I am an adult. I go to class full-time, I work full-time, I pay my rent/bills, cook, and such. </p>
<p>Am I not allowed to participate in discussions here? </p>
<p>Is there anything inherently wrong with an adult posting in a HS forum?</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just a middle schooler, and I’m posting.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with participating in the discussion, Hairy Lemon, but that’s not what you’re doing. @basic still hasn’t gotten any feedback because you felt that we needed to know you think this thread is stupid.</p>

<p>9/10 
You truly seem to have a passion for everything that you do, and it’s not too much that you’re just spreading yourself too thin. Only thing would be to have more leadership positions, but you’ll have three more years to do that.</p>
<p>International club and NHS certainly wouldn’t hurt you, and would give you just about the ‘ideal’ number of extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>Here are mine:

<p>I’m a rising sophomore, so this coming school year I’m applying to NHS as well (which I should get in to) and adding ‘Best Buddies,’ which is a club that allows me to interact weekly with my peers who have special needs.</p>
<p>I know I don’t have that many extracurricular activities or seem to have a particular focus, but I’d like my academic focus to become tutoring/science and cultural activities like my temple and singing, as well as the North South Foundation competitions. :P</p>
