Do you have a resume? It doesn't have to be a formal resume, but it is important to compile and maintain a detailed list of:
- all of your activities including clubs, community groups, and sports
- awards received - it is helpful to know the name of the award, who it was from and the reason you were selected for the recognition
- community service commitments with hours and a contact name
- employment with hours and a contact name
Adding to and keeping this list updated throughout each year is an important step for students of every age because when you sit down to start working on your college applications they are going to ask you over and over again to list out these types of items, so having a complete list is essential. I also hope it goes without saying that not only should the list be complete, but it should also be ACCURATE! Do NOT make up activities, awards, or other involvement that you did not participate in and did not earn!
Seniors- don't forget, tonight at 7pm is the Senior College Information Night! I hope to see you there!
