[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid also doesn’t have the kind of volunteer work that will show as an activity on a college app. He’s done stuff here and there for his SSL hours and helps out his grandparents and neighbors and does chores at home. But he has adhd and some other commitments and also doesn’t drive so it’s been not practical for him to come up with sort of a sustained volunteer activity. His sister had a ton of that because she was the kind of person that loved having her time all blocked out and also loved mentoring younger kids (which is sort of the easiest volunteer type work to schedule). [/quote] That's fine, but don't use ADHD as an excuse. My kid has ADHD and doesn't drive and regularly volunteered at three locations, year round, amounting to hundreds of hours of service work. He loves the work, and ADHD didn't hold him back from doing what he loves.[/quote]
