My current junior was just informed she’s gotten a bit of a promotion. Last year she taught swim lessons and lifeguarded at a small private pool. This year she will be the supervisor two days a week and teach the other three. On her supervisor shifts all parents coming in to register for lessons or with questions about what level their kid is at or what level they should sign up for for the next session will be handled by her. She will also be responsible for supervising all the classes and making sure the other instructors are doing their jobs properly. She’s only been there a year and a half and I feel like the manager has really recognized that even at 17 she’s responsible and the parents like/trust her. My question is if there is any way to best highlight this experience on her applications in the fall. Through essays? Letter of rec from her boss? She’s a solid 94th percentile on the SAT and a mid to high academic kid with 6 AP classes so far and 4 more next year, with A’s and a few B’s, applying to UCSB, UCSD, Cal Poly SLO and a few private schools. Her other EC’s are varsity swim, Girl Scouts and a few minor clubs, etc.but her focus has really been on teaching swim. She loves it. They always say to have a passion, and she does, but how does she articulate that?
