swellmomma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I answered this this morning before going out for the day, coming back and reading all the replies is making me feel like the biggest slacker back in high school. Well okay I really was, I was lucky to bother showing up to actual class let along extras. Extra clubs were all held afterschool and like I posted I worked from 3-6 M-F. I was not in any community clubs/lessons for the most part. BUt I did remember 1 thing I did and that was the suicide prevention teen team. I took and taught suicide prevention workshops, did demonstrations/talks at other schools, helped run the hotline, and if someone was put in the hospital under suicide watch the other team members and I would rotate shifts watching that person to free up hospital staff to do their actual work. I did that for all 3 years of high school. Junior high I was in a bunch of stuff but once high school started I gave it all up, once I turned 15 I dropped the guiding organization (was in for 9 years by then) and so work and teen team were it. I put more time into those 2 things than I did into actual schoolwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityMom Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 A lot of my time was filled with performing applied behavior analysis therapy with my little brother, who was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 and I was 16. I was in two musicals each year, in addition to a capella choir, and I was co-editor of our yearbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 None. Zero. I went to school, then went home. However, I went to college at a time when high school activities really weren't considered for admission. I'm not sure a college bound high school student today could/should be like I was.

ThisIsTheDay Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 None. Zip. Nada. Underachieving defined. :) Me too. No extracurricular school activities. I focused on doing what I could to get out of school, which often included leaving campus for mid-morning screwdrivers several times a week during sophomore year. Throughout my high school career, I watched a lot of All My Children and General Hospital, hung out with friends, and generally worried about what I would wear to the parties I would go to that weekend. Like my closest friends, I got decent grades, flew under the radar, regularly cut classes without penalty, spent a lot of time drinking and doing other illegal activities but never got caught doing anything serious. Our parents were far more involved in their own lives than to have much concern about ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I went to a small Christian high school. We had some sports, but I wasn't into that. I worked on the yearbook my senior year, but that was about it. I didn't like my high school and skipped school a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaichiki Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I went to a large Catholic high school that was big in sports and academics. There were LOTS of clubs, too. Most of my friends (and other kids in my graduating class) participated in a whole lot more than I did. Through school: National Honor Society Christian Social Action Club basketball and track (got my letters) volleyball (just one year) Spanish Club school plays and musicals Math League Outside of school: worked a bit on weekends horseback riding and shows martial arts volunteering at local hospital, a special needs preschool, and at a tutoring center for Deaf adults getting their GEDs Edited February 1, 2012 by zaichiki ETA: How could I have forgotten Math League?! ROFLOL! (I know how.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 In high school, my activities tapered off (cross-country and track), I wasn't in any clubs, but I did work as a veterinary assistant and receptionist. I think the job experience was great to have on my applications. For my high schoolers, we just haven't had the money or transportation to be involved in many things, BUT my senior will have over 500 hours of volunteer/service experience with 5-6 different organizations. And he's taught himself guitar. I hope that's enough to help him. :001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
