<p>So, as I research colleges, it just reminds me of the fact that my extracurriculars are nearly nonexistent. I'm currently a sophomore in high school with an 3.9 average so far. I definitely would like a science-oriented career, my first choice being a surgeon. If That doesn't work out, I'd want to explore other areas of science (not sure on specifications on that).</p>
<p>Current Extracurriculars:
-On a varsity tennis team (I hope to be on the team junior and senior year)
-Started a dance class at school (I'll start dance classes outside of school that has times that fit my schedule)</p>
<p>Future Extracurriculars:
-Volunteer at a hospital once I'm old enough to drive (November of junior year)
-Summer medical program summer after my junior year
-If this is even an extracurricular: Hiking the Camino de Santiago, a 35 day pilgrimage through France and Spain this upcoming summer</p>
<p>Far-fetched Ideas/Need Research:
-Starting a Operation Smile club junior year, which raises money to fund operations in 3rd world countries to preform surgery on children with facial deformities(cleft lip/palate)
-Trying to join a science oriented competition such a USA Biology Olympiad or the Science Olympiad
-Getting music lessons, preferable a jazz instrument</p>
<p>The troubles I face is not having a passion for the activities I try out and ultimately never committing to it. This might also be influence by the lack of science activities outside of school and if there are any they are more than 30 minutes away. Any suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated.</p>
