Can you guys suggest any extracurriculars?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I have only recently discovered that my passion lies in teaching/literacy, and I'd really like to convey this to the adcoms when I apply this fall (I'm a rising senior). Unfortunately, I haven't done much, so I'm wondering if any of you wonderful people can propose any new ideas?</p>

<p>Here's what I've done/will do:
-Founded a tutoring program at a school in a high crime, low income neighborhood
-Director of my school's tutoring program through NHS (where I also tutor students in Latin/Math/anything else)
-Private tutoring for some money in various areas, including the SAT (I only got a 2220, but my students have gotten around 1500)
-Will co-ordinate a used children's book drive once school begins again in September, in order to benefit children's hospitals, school libraries, and prisons.</p>

<p>So does anyone else have any ideas that might help me stand out in the field of education/literacy? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Oh and my prospectie major will probably be classics (to become a Latin teacher), so any usggestions incorporating this subject would also be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Write a book.</p>

<p>@Chaseholl: yeah, yeah, I know. It’s just that I’d also like them to see a common thread before reading the essay. I guess it’s kind of unrealistic at this point, but I’d really like to do something where the adcoms would be like, “wow, this kid really is interested in teaching!” I just don’t know what that thing is.</p>

<p>@Hatsheput and Seahawks506: Hmmmm. So I should just stick to what I hae, and become more involved in it? Is that what you’re saying?</p>

<p>ONLY a 2220? ):</p>

<p>I have roughly the same score and now I feel dumb.</p>

<p>But yeah, just keep expanding what you’re already doing.</p>

<p>@Saugus: Before you think I’m some pretentious CC overachiever, I only said “only” because some people might think it too low to be tutoring other kids on the SAT. Haha, don’t worry!</p>

<p>But like, how do you think I could expand?</p>
