depends on what you like, so if you like photos and that stuff you should get into that or a sport, which is good because you can get into a college without good grades if your good at the sport.

Well you don't really NEED sports for college, unless your parents are hoping that you will get a sports scholarship. But there are all kinds of scholarships. HEre is what colleges really look at.
So many kids drop out of college the first year. what colleges what to see in a student, is a person who can handle herself. So if you are a good acacdemic student who is involved in sports, and extra curricular activities, then they think, Hey this kid can handle many responsbilities at once. So they will be able to handle college and perhaps being away from home.
But the extra things that you show you can handle don't have to be sports or clubs. It can be a job. It can be volunteer work. In fact many of the NON-ATHLETIC Scholarships require that the student have some volunteer work in their back ground. Now if you think you would like to try that, there are a few areas that always need volunteers. Seniors, little kids, libraries and camps. The YMCA's need volunteers, girls scout camps, and stuff like that. Veternarians some times use volunteers to help take care of the animals. Farms, maybe. What are you interested in? If you think you want to go into the medical field, then volunteer at the hospital. If you think you like writing, then volunteer at the newspaper. My son liked radio, he volunteered at a radio station, and now he runs the radio station on his college campus. He NEVER played sports,and he wasn't very popular and didn't belong to any clubs. But he did get good grades.

GOod luck to you, in collge.

Michele
