extra curriculars

<p>Hello everyone!
I was hoping someone could answer my question. I just started my junior year and I'm wondering what are good extra curriculars for someone wanting to go into mechanical engineering. I am pretty active in school but my activities don't have a common theme that top tier colleges are looking for. For example, if omeone wants to major in economics they would have a couple 'fill in clubs' and then have a lot attention focused towards model un as he/she would show through numerous model un awards and leadership positions. I know one might suggest robotics but i feel you could only go so far with that at a high school level plus it's a common activity. I was thinking of starting an engineering club(doing fun engineering projects after school) and maybe joining the robotics club. I've done extensive research on the jobs of mechanical engineers but a lot of the things that I could delve into require access to things that only a professional mechanical engineer would have. Here are my current extracurriculars: </p>

<p>Student Council
French Club
Umoja club (african cultural club)
RWJUH safety ambassador (promote safety to children around 2nd grade at a hospital)
SciNHS
School Newspaper
Science League</p>

<p>outside school
church volunteer(over 1x10^18 hrs haha every sunday I go to church and participate in the volunteer activities afterwards, it's a lot though I've been doin this every sunday since 5th grade)
elijah's promise(volunteer here on saturdays whenever I get the chance and during the summer)</p>

<p>I was thinking of getting a job at a body shop but I doubt I could land it because of my inexperience with cars, or maybe start a bike repair business. I've searched for mechanical engineering/ engineer related interships but there arent any for 16 yr olds with no connections. Any suggestions of internships for mechanical engineering or engineering in general?</p>

<p>Question in mind: what extra curricular activities should I remove(I still need time to do hw, self-study/study APs, and have time to relax from time to time lol), or add to my list that would point to a mechanical engineering major? Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I am also a translator /narrator of children’s stories for bookbox inc my work will be up soon. I translate the stories into Asante Twi. Search them up on youtube!</p>
