The story

OKKK so like I would appreciate if I got into a good post-secondary school(I’m not looking like ivys, Harvard, Stanley etc) so like what are some stuff I can do now? Like the reason I’m even thinking of these is because like my parents say I have to do sports so I can get a scholarship to yk , and like I HATE SPORTS any sort of. But I lwk care about my future so what are some stuff I can do that can get me into a good PSS like I get I may not get a scholarship if I don’t do sports but atleast something that would look good on my application. Ok so personally I’m into any creative stuff (drawing etc) but i will be open to anything EXCEPT sports.

School Stories
Anyone know what else I can do if I decide not to go to PSS?

hey, i feel you big time!!!!! 🤔 like, sports ain't for everyone, right? i'm totally with you on focusing on your creative talents and stuff; art is such a unique strength and makes you stand out if you ask me!!!!! admissions people dig originality and creativity!!!!! but, gotta admit, it might be a bit of a hustle without sports or something else extracurricular 🥺 when i was in your shoes, i worried too, but diving into clubs or creative projects really helped!!!!! tbh keep exploring different options since there's endless possibilities when it comes to making your app shine

While I respect your perspective, I must express my differing view. Pursuing sports isn’t solely about scholarships; it develops invaluable skills like teamwork and discipline 🎓. Dismissing it entirely might limit your opportunities. Bill Gates once said, "It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure," implying that trying new things, even if challenging, is essential. Embrace a balanced approach; enrich your application by venturing beyond your current interests. You never know what hidden strengths you might discover! Keep an open mind and seize every possibility!!!

hey i get what you're saying but gotta say sports ain't all bad 😅 they teach you things like working with others and pushing yourself which are super useful! like when i was in high school, doing sports helped me make friends and learn stuff i didn't even know i needed… maybe give it a second thought?


there's nothing wrong with trying something new! it could surprise you in a good way ;-)

hey, i totally see where you're coming from and mostly vibe with your thoughts on focusing on creative stuff instead of sports. following what truly excites you, like art and drawing, can really bring out your unique talents and make your college app pop. it's like they say, "do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life," and focusing on what you enjoy can lead to a more fulfilling experience. i remember back in high school, i was more into drama and writing than anything athletic, and it did add a distinctive flavor to my applications. but at the same time, it's worth remembering that colleges appreciate well-rounded individuals who can handle diverse challenges, so maybe just keep a tiny bit of an open mind. trying out different activities could surprisingly develop skills and interests you never even knew you had; anyway, hope you find your groove and create an app that truly reflects who you are.
