Frankly, I am tired of the word "passion," as in "your extracurricular activities should reflect your passion(s)." I don't know that many teenagers who necessarily know what their passions are at this point in their lives. However, I do think this brief article has the right idea, and that is that your high school activities should be more than something you simply check off a list.
High school is a good time to explore clubs, sports, and other extracurriculars. You may click with some of them right away, or it may take time to find the ones that spark your interest. The point - particularly for freshmen - is to try activities on for size, and then once you find a few that you like, commit to them. Get involved on a deeper level. Make a difference. And who knows? You might just find your passion!
