[quote=Anonymous]No way my kid is going to have 10 activities. Very few at school beyond the sport they play and one school club. He has one regular service commitment and a regular teenager type summer job. Can you list hobbies or does this just make you look self-centered? Do all your activities have to be for a greater good or to make an impact in your community? Outside of schoolwork, my son spends his free time at the river fishing or playing golf for hours on the weekend. Do colleges want to know about time consuming hobbies like that? He isn’t playing video games, but he certainly isn’t changing the world either. Honestly, I sort of get the temptation to exaggerate activities because colleges don’t seem to want a kid like mine.
