I don’t disagree that the real goal is an admit. But I wish we knew if she’s really “an activist,” in the best sense, or just took off on one issue, mouthing off to an admin that knows her, in the comfy context of her hs.
So far, all we know is she’s “active in her high school’s diversity groups” and “has argued with the administration.” It’s hard to tell what that amounts to, about her. Lots of kids can write about standing up for something, but then what?
If it were my kid, I wouldn’t necessarily stop her. But I’d want her to be able to show what she learned or how this empowered her on a broader scale, including outside the hs.
