College-bound high school students should plan to spend some of the summer engaged in either a community service activity or a specialized learning opportunity. A great variety of community service activities can be found from parks and recreation programs to working at a local animal shelter. Be creative and please, don't just tutor at the library or help out with your church youth group- everyone does that. Set yourself apart with an interesting and unique activity.
Summer learning opportunities can include creating your own summer reading program, teaching yourself a new skill, or enrolling in a class at the local community college. Whatever you do, don't spend the whole summer sleeping and playing video games!
