<p>Hi everyone, I'm new to this board but it has shown up in many of my searches so I figured I'd join. Anyway, I'm a high school sophomore and have good grades, but I was wondering about extracurricular activities. I'm not very involved with my school or the community and I've wanted to find an EC for a while that I'm passionate about. </p>
<p>I'm not doing this to pad my college apps -- I really want to find something that I'd enjoy. Anyone have a great EC that they truly loved doing? I've been in the band for 2 years and plan on continuing, plus I am joining the debate club, so no need to suggest those.</p>

<p>You’re asking us to suggest your passion?</p>
<p>figure out what clubs are at your school and join the ones you care about.</p>
<p>“You’re asking us to suggest your passion?”</p>
<p>No, I’m asking you what kind of activities you enjoy and I want to see if I’d be interested in them.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore in high school also…hm… here are the ones that I’m involved in and enjoy:</p>
<p>-running (cross country and track basically define my life)
-yearbook (I love putting together the pages at the layouts, and next year I get to snap the pictures of everyone!!)
-Crossroads (a tutoring program, that tutors middle school kids from the local public middle school once a week)
-I’m thinking of joining debate club or mock trial team next year
-I take photography as my elective (it’s definitely one of my passions, but it requires a LOT of time outside class)
-umm… babysitting? haha just kidding</p>
<p>Hope these possibly give you some ideas!!</p>
<p>I second the mock trial recommendation.</p>
