[quote=redquasar][quote=Anonymous]OP when he turns down the activities you suggest, what reason does he give? Does he have friends? Does he spend time with them outside of school? [/quote] he'll usually state that he has no interest and it will be hard to get motivated for that. He does some recreational volleyball at the Y but not a sports guy which is fine. He does orchestra in school and played last year in a very high level county band, but just went through the motions; no zeal. There is a pressure from colleges to be a "pointy' applicant which a unique passion. I disagree with that if it is forced and doesn't come from within. But turning down options at the buffet of opportunities before even trying them is tough. [/quote]
