<p>Alright so I'm a little nervous as far as EC's go because I don't exactly feel connected to my school at all. Grades and everything aren't a concern.</p>
<p>Spring before I went to high school I found out I was redistricted to the other high school in the district (East), apart from all of my friends except one. I was devastated, and have since had a resentment for my high school. I have made a few friends throughout the years at my school, but none that I ever see outside of school. Therefore I haven't really participated in any activities going on at East. I know if I went to the other school that I was supposed to be attending (Henderson) I would love to participate and do lots of things/be in clubs with my friends, but my heart just isn't in it at my school. I played field hockey and lacrosse freshman year, but that's about it. I love hanging out with my friends, however, and do so pretty much every day after school. But that can't exactly go on my college app. I just don't want people to think I come home and do nothing after school every day.</p>
<p>So here's my question. What can I do to become involved? I'm pretty shy so plunging into things with people I don't know isn't very appealing. Also, if I start now, won't it look like I just did a lot of things to boost my app? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
