Hello! I’m currently a junior in NYC and i’m stressing out over summer activities. To be blunt, I haven’t been using my summers very well at all (A lot of that is due to family/monetary issues). Anyways, I have been able to squeeze in some volunteer work here in there but since I’m a junior, I want to really utilize all the time I have left before I have to really buckle down and start my college applications. Basically, I was wondering if any of you knew of any good summer opportunities that I could do to not only enjoy myself but showcase that I’m dedicated? I was thinking of maybe volunteering at a hospital or trying to get a summer (or even better a year-round part time) job. I’d also be eternally grateful to hear what you guys are planning on doing this summer if you are in the class of 2016.
P.S. I have a 4.0 GPA and I’m a 16 year old black female who’s interested in medicine. I thought I should just include that if that’s to any help at all.
