<p>I'm only a sophomore so I know I have time to explore and actually do more things, but the whole college thing is coming up in school and now all everybody is talking about is if they're qualified for good schools and I'm freaking out. I just want to know if my ECs are weak, since I can't help but notice that everybody has done tons of programs and internships and I'm just lost.</p>
<p>9 grade: jv soccer team, varsity winter and spring track, International fund club, Whitney M. Young club (except my attendance was pretty poor so I don't really know if I should keep that up), volunteered for school homecoming decorations, volunteered at Damon Runyon 5k</p>
<p>10 grade: (now) International fund club, Whitney M. Young, Foreign language club, newspaper club, track hasn't started yet but I'll have them for later and I am volunteering starting next month at a soup kitchen and for a coat drive, and I'm helping a friend who started fundraising to send out water purifying packets to countries in Africa without clean sources of water.</p>
<p>I could have done more during ninth grade but I was busy enough with school and sports, so when summer came I didn't bother to do much. I am going to sign up for programs and possibly internships over the summer, so hopefully things will turn around for me.</p>
