<p>Ok so this is my first year really being able to be involved in clubs because I didn't have a license and nobody would drive me. I am a junior and am involved in Avant-Garde (film club), debate, activism and awareness (it's through Invisible Children), and theater. Later this year I will be in Thespian and NHS. However, since I didn't get into these clubs til this year I can't get any leadership positions. Anybody else in this same boat or want to give me ideas of what to do?</p>
<p>Oh and post what clubs you're in because I'm interested in learning what other people like.</p>
<p>Don't worry too much. Going into my junior year, I was a member of band and that was pretty much it...By the end of the year I was in debate, a co-captain of mock trial, involved with a community service group and the president-elect of NHS. If you really work towards success and leadership positions <em>and join activities because you like them , not just for college purposes</em>, getting involved is late is better than never, fun, and (I hope) similarly effective as 4-year committments in college admissions.</p>
<p>hey i havent done anything but sports year-round and im at my beginning of my junior year....is it time that i start getting into clubs? how much effect do they have/...i know being in the anime or drawing club is more a hobby than help on admissions...so what do i do?</p>
<p>Well, I have done community service (at least 700 hours in my life) and debate and theater last year... so I'm hoping that's enough. I am doing all of these clubs for myself, for fun, but I'm not gonna lie by saying that it helping get into college isn't a bonus. </p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement that I'm not alone in this :].</p>
