Well first off it's not a job if you're doing it for volunteer hours. Don't get paid for that shit nigga.
Finish your volunteer hours with something that pertains to your job. If you can't, don't worry about it. If you can, that's good. It's always an open opportunity for reference letters. Also if you have time, make sure you do more. Shows that you're willing to contribute to your community and it reflects on your resume. Once you start hitting around grade 11 and 12, you should, or shouldn't, consider taking coop which allows you to be more familiar with your field of interest.
yadadyadaydadasyadasysa you're so asian. Why are you even considering college?
Not constant schooling if it's college. More like constant reflection of how they're too shitty to get into uni yolo
Just kidding, everyone has their own opinions. Who cares.
>Asian
>Never heard of coop

Who gives a fuck about MPGH in the future? No one. Except probs Dabid. You're going to eventually move on like the older members with their lives.
Go volunteer at a local non-profit group. I needed 25 hours of community service for bringing pot to school. I volunteered a a local Thrift Shop that gave all its profit to charity. I actually enjoyed working there so much, I dropped over 60 hours into it. Volunteering is actually pretty fun, and it's nice to know that you are helping those less fortunate.
That's the thing, I don't want to give up my social life to get all A's. =[ Don't they look at your social life as well? Reflects what kind of person you are.

Volunteering at the Y. /gewd Think it's non-profit.
Join Key Club if you have one at your school. It's the largest high school service organization in the world and they offer lots of scholarships. I'd say they are at a majority of high schools. Try to get leadership positions (President, VP, etc.). I was Vice President last year and now I'm President. I now have a few scholarships because of it. You're a freshman and there isn't a whole for you to do when it comes to college other than grades, clubs and community service hours. You can try taking community college courses but to be honest, education sucks so space will be limited for even college students...I'd recommend taking EdX courses. MIT is a VERY VERY hard school to get into. I believe harder than Harvard. Unless you have a 4.25+ Overall GPA, at top of your class, nearly perfect SATs (nearly impossible) and you are extremely involved in your community then you're not going to get in. If you're a minority (Black or Mexican...Being Asian doesn't count) then expectations are definitely lowered. Take as many AP/Honors/IB courses as possible. Get good SAT scores. Stay out of trouble. Jobs definitely look good but it's pretty much is as equal as playing a school sport or being in 2 or 3 clubs. I'd befriend teachers/counselors which would take care of your recommendations.
I got like a 2050 on the SAT (I still panning on retaking it), 6 clubs, 4.12GPA overall, top 40 in my class :(, black, poor, sob stories but I'm pretty sure I would get rejected from MIT. I still on applying anyway :p
Also, saying As and Bs isn't a really good scale to go by. Being that we don't know if the classes you are taking are weighted...Which would accumulate to your GPA..
you, and @666HiddenMaster666 both use it but I never saw you on this forum 6 months ago boh2
I understand that, but the fact that you live so close isn't going to get you in. Really, it's going to come down to your SAT/ACT scores, overall GPA in relation to your class (Class Rank) and involvement in your community/school.
To be honest, your Freshman year is the least important. Colleges mostly look at your Junior and partially your Sophomore year.
