[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they really want an entire class full of leaders, with no one to lead? My child is deeply involved in several activities but doesn’t have the desire to lead any of them. What’s wrong with someone who is committed to a sport/club/activity but is not the leader? All of these things require participants and frankly, a huge group of leaders on campus sounds like a nightmare of bossy type-A extroverts. Just seems like colleges should place less emphasis on “leadership” and more on dedicated participation.[/quote] Completely empathize. My DD took on a leadership role in HS because she knew it was important for college apps, but she hated the experience. She went through college as an avid participant and was much happier. She’s actually pointed out how much she hated being a group leader and will never repeat it.[/quote]
