[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the colleges are looking at who can come up with creative ideas and carry them out. Doesn't have to be altruistic but that's most likely scenario for a teen. So participating in something is nice. Recognizing a problem, finding a solution or treatment, and carrying that out in a sustainable way, that's an indicator for future success.[/quote] I've personally witnessed those "creative ideas" and they're such bullshit. It's all about how much the helicopter parents or consultant stretches (I mean "sells") the involvement. Aggressive kids are shameless and spin the most minor self-serving shit into the most impactful community changing involvement. lol[/quote] Yep. Or they (or their parents) set up a "non-profit," complete with website, etc. But it's all just a fancy façade. [/quote]
