The summer after Junior Year. It doesn't mater what you do during the summer, as long as you do SOMETHING!

Counselor's Corner  
By Betsy F. Woolf


Some of my high school students work as life guards every summer.   Some work for their local legislators. Some attend summer camps and programs for teens.   Some do science research.  Some take classes.  Some volunteer.  Some travel.   Some play in tournaments and showcases.   And one of my students spends the summer preparing for the Junior World Championships in his sport.

It doesn't mater what you do during the summer, as long as you do SOMETHING!

It doesn't have to happen at an exotic locale (although it may), and it can be a job at the local store. Sure, colleges like to see that students aren't just sitting home watching television and playing video games all summer. But what's important about the summer is the experience and how it helps you grow.
