It sounds like you’re off to a great start with your extracurricular activities (ECs)! Having certifications in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word shows that you’re dedicated to developing valuable skills, and being a Microsoft Office Specialist is impressive too. These qualifications can be particularly beneficial if you’re interested in fields like business, technology, or administration.
As a freshman, it’s also a good idea to explore other interests and activities beyond technical skills.
