<p>I want to be a teacher at a selective college prep boarding school. I would like to go to Harvard. However, I'm a high school freshman right now. So, while I'm waiting, I'm looking for opportunities to volunteer and doing ECs. But, there's not a lot of opportunities for aspiring teachers. Here's some things I already do:</p>

<ul>
<li>tutoring for a nonprofit organization that provides free tutoring to students</li>
<li>teaching job over the summer with my high school </li>
<li>I'm in a prestigious scholarship program which gets scholars into top colleges</li>
</ul>

<p>Any suggestions? I have no EC classes, I just take 3 languages (I want to be a foreign language teacher)</p>

<p>It’s tough for people here to give you advice about this because we don’t know what’s available in your school/community/state. But don’t be afraid to look for activities that don’t have anything to do with teaching; you might find you’ll like other things too. Your ECs don’t have to “match” what you think your career will be.</p>
