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.
