<p>So, after summer school in July and the beginning of August, I was going to get a job or volunteer in my community. But then yesterday my parent asked me if I wanted to go to Japan and China(maybe the Olympic?) for vacation. And I'm like-I DON'T KNOW!!
Let me explain my situation: I'm from Canada and I plan to apply to American colleges this fall. I have no EC at all so I thought I need to atleast do SOMETHING to write on the application, right? I mean, I could still start in Steptember when I go back to school.... but is it too late?
What should I do?! I want to take a break and go travel but I also want to have some volunteer experience. I'm torned! I have no one to talk to about this, so that's why I need your opinion! THANK YOU!</p>
<p>I'll go in your place if you want ;)</p>
<p>"No ECs at all"? Surely you must have something, be it at school, in the community, etc.?</p>
<p>volunteer in japan or china</p>
<p>Why can't you start volunteering now, just a couple of hours a week? Surely there's somewhere that will let you come and go as you please. =]</p>
