[quote=Anonymous]My DDs activities:

Fall JV sport, 9th and 10th grade. 
Another JV sport, winter 10th grade. 
Some intermittent volunteer work (food pantry at church, MLK volunteer day, etc)
Part time job for 4 month last summer
Using the free pass at Planet Fitness 3-4/week

What she will not list, but should:
Going to Raising Canes w friends 
Being an expert on Love Island and The Secret lives of Mormon Housewives
Loving true crime, especially the Karen Read trial

She is a wonderful person. I don’t know if she’s found her passion yet. I’m hoping she finds one or more of them in college or as a young adult.

The rat race feel of the admissions process and the ECs list makes me feel terrible as a parent, for not having her do more. But really, I didn’t want to force her to do things just to make her feel inadequate or add to an arbitrary list.

For her older sister, who had “more” activities, I don’t think they even mattered that much. But, I don’t want it to have an impact.
