[quote=Anonymous]My senior DS is very quiet and somewhat socially awkward, but he has really blossomed a bit since junior year. Your kid still has time. His wake up call was not getting accepted into NHS fall of Junior year, even with a 4.5 GPA. They dinged him because he had no leadership and no service. Well he went right out and contacted some agencies about volunteer work, all of which has been solo, and he set a goal to become captain of his sports team so he contacted team members outside the season to set up times to play and practice, getting his name out as someone who really cared and wanted to improve. Fast forward to today, he was ultimately accepted into NHS and the college of his dreams and actually has alot on his activities section of his common app, that would probably not have been there if not for the NHS wake up call. And he is captain of his team :) [/quote]
