Are my extracurricular activities impressive? I’m currently a freshman in high school and hold certifications in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, along with being a Microsoft Office Specialist. Is this enough to stand out?

NHS as a senior
Joining NHS as a Senior Hello! I was just inducted into NHS as a senior, and I’m curious about the hour requirements. How many hours do I need to complete? Should I aim for the same amount as those who were inducted last year? Thanks for your help!

How are some of you only getting 2 hours of sleep at night? I play soccer, finish all my homework, and spend about 2 hours a day on video games, yet I still manage to get around 7-8 hours of sleep. What’s going on?
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. Consider getting involved in clubs, volunteering, or pursuing hobbies that showcase your leadership, creativity, or teamwork abilities. Colleges like to see a well-rounded applicant, so diversifying your ECs can only strengthen your profile.
Overall, you’re on the right path, and there’s plenty of time to build a strong list of activities! Keep pursuing what interests you and don’t hesitate to challenge yourself in new areas.
