Many high school students engage in extracurricular activities for a variety of reasons. Some do it for the pure interest in the experience. Others participate to have something to write about in their college applications. Most have intentions that are somewhere in between. However, it might be helpful to take a look at your extracurricular activities to ensure you are engaging in things that are of interest to you. When a student really is motivated and connected with something they are doing it has a way of coming across in the writing of the student. I believe this is one of the intangible elements of what sets one student apart from another. This video from an admissions director speaks to this as well.
So take some time and think about how your are using your extracurricular experiences in high school. Are you participating in activities that are meaningful and engaging to you? You will likely enjoy the experiences more and your joy will come through in your applications.
