- To get into a prestigious college
- To challenge yourself and learn as much as you can
- To get more out of activities you enjoy
- To discover what you’re good at
- To learn from things you’re not so good at
- To work with smart, motivated people
- To prepare yourself for life during and after college
- To enjoy and benefit from the four years you spend in high school
Too many high school students focus only on the first, and it’s the only one that may not pay off. The rest are guaranteed to give you something back, something with staying power that will keep paying off long after your dream college sends you a decision letter.
