It’s Prospect Worksheet time. Time to review the past year and decide what’s the important factors to go on a website. What do coaches want to see? What’s important to show?
And for many, the most dreaded section: What to put in the academic achievements?
Believe it or not you may have many more things to add to your achievement list than you may know!
When writing “Academic Achievements” most students assume it has to do with their grades, and being the top of the class. But it can be so much more as well!
Did you get perfect attendance?
An award for extra effort? For good classroom attitude?
Were you in the top 10 for scores in your subject?
Are you an artist? Do you have photographs exhibited? Paintings hung? Sculptures displayed?
Are you a writer? Do you write for the school newspaper? A short story? Poems?
Do you have an eye for the finer details? Design the yearbook? Make fashion?
Do you sing in a choir? Play an instrument?
Were you in a school play?
Do you mentor younger students? Tutor others?
Academic achievements don’t have to be just what happens in the classroom – they’re what happens in your school! So think about those things you like at school and what have you done well with. You’ll soon find you have a much longer list than you thought!
