If you could only choose one:
class to take…
activity to invest in…
activity to leave behind…
teacher to write your letter of rec…
subject to know more about…
strength to maximize…
friend to spend more time with…
achievement to share with colleges…
person to take college admissions advice from…
…what choice would you make?
Whatever the answer is, it’s worth taking a moment to consider not just why it made the list, but also if you’re giving that choice the attention it deserves.
Not everything can or should be whittled down to one choice. But not everything deserves equal time and attention, either.
