Writing as an EC

<p>I'm a junior in high school, and I really love to write. I'm interning with an online national magazine/newspaper this summer, and am also planning to participate in a few writing contests, and I would like to expand further on my writing. For this, I was wondering whether colleges would be impressed/take into consideration stories I post online, like on wattpad? Also, is it possible as a high school student to write as a freelancer online? Because I would like a job, and there are practically no jobs for teens where I live. If anyone has any freelance experience or tips, please do share.
Thank you!</p>

<p>Definitely add it to your application. I don’t know if colleges will be <em>impressed</em>. It doesn’t hurt. And if you win any awards, that would help too.</p>
