[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a high school freshman, all As, does some sports but not very well, more into debate and model UN. What would be a good use of her summer?

We are looking at academic programs like CTY and Duke, spouse is thinking they should get a job or internship — but I can’t find many internships for 15 year old high school freshman.

We talked to counselors at high school but they just point us to the county volunteer website. [/quote]

As the mother of a high performing senior, here is my advice to you.  Follow your kid’s interests and lead.  You are not going to craft her into someone she is not and if you let your high achieving kid become who she should be, I promise you it will pay dividends for both you and your kid.  My DD has applied to some reach schools.  She may get in.  But regardless, I am so amazed by the woman she has become.  She will change the world no matter where she goes to school.  And this person would not have emerged if we had tried to curate her activities.  [/quote]
