Extra Curricular Activities or Sports you participated in High School or College? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In high school, I worked after school, so I didn't have time for much. They had an extra credit Program for students working with children with disabilities. I did that my Junior Year on Saturday mornings. I also worked in the school office for a couple of years. I had to quit the Ecology Club because I just didn't have the time.

In college, I wrote for the school paper, and tutored in a few subjects (not Math).

Never one for sports.

In high school I played bass drum in the band.

*MIBabe03* · 06-20-2006, 11:38 AM

I did choir for 2 years. It was only because I needed a fine arts credit to graduate.

vienna waits · 06-20-2006, 11:48 AM

In HS I was the yearbook editor. I did other things but I don't really care about them now. Now in college, I'm in a fraternity, a new student mentor, Up 'til Dawn (we raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital), Alpha Lambda Delta (freshman honorary society), I go to FLOW (Fellowship Learning Outreach Worship), and I have a work study job. I love it all!

I played tennis for four years in high school. I wrote/took pictures for the newspaper and yearbook too. And NHS, Mu Alpha Theta (math national honor society)...I was an officer for the No Name club, which didn't have much point.

I took part in the Close Up program in high school, which involved some after-school work. I went to the state Close Up convention in February 2001, my sophomore year in HS. Then I went to Close Up in Washington DC in April 2002, at the end of my junior year in HS.

I took part in DECA my sophomore and junior years. Junior year, I was an overall officer, so my officer picture ended up in the DECA section of the yearbook. That involved after-school work, as well.

I was a class officer all four years in HS. After-school work there too. I can only remember being class president my freshman year; I don't remember what positions I held the other three years.

And in college, I've been working for the school paper since 2004, but I'm taking a break from it the fall semester to focus on my studies so that I can hopefully graduate on time. Being on the school paper has had its perks though...I got to go to NYC for a journalism convention.

Love it!

No, but I wish I was involved in extra-cirricular activities growing up. My dad never allowed me to join anything of that nature. I basically grew up in a very strict upbringing. But, I would have loved to have joined because of the socialization and making friends and just doing something "out of the house." It was always boring.

Now that I am working/in college, I am trying to search for clubs and things to join that's not very expensive. I still want to socialize more and make some friends outside of work.

Courtnee · 06-20-2006, 02:36 PM

i'm in:

cheerleading
newsletter
yearbook
drill team

hopefully next year my school will have choir. I want to become a better singer.

Brad Russ · 06-20-2006, 02:39 PM

I played basketball and soccer. Both teams did very well, but I was unable to afford all the equipment needed for soccer, so I had to quit that before long. Our basketball team was great. We only had one loss out of 11, and that was our very first game. We asked for a rematch against the team we lost to, but they refused to accept our challenge.

I was always asked to join other sports as well in school, but I preffered going home and watching tv instead. I regret that now, but back then, there was no way I was about to miss an episode of Days of Our Lives!!

lol...I was in choir because the 2 guys I was in love with were.

I was in drama and speech in HS. I did nothing in college.

Karen* · 06-20-2006, 03:20 PM

Since I've only lived through my high school years thus far...

I was in student government for three and a half years. I was secretary for my class during my freshman and sophomore years and I was Associated Student Body Secretary during my junior year and the first half of my senior year this year. I resigned for the second half because I felt like I had waaaayyyy too much on my hands with homework, other activities, work, etc.

I was a writer and editor for my school newspaper. I was appointed Assistant Managing Editor during my junior year and became Managing Editor the next year.

I've been a member of the Link Crew (The group that coordinates activities for freshmen throughout the year) for three years.

I was president of the Multicultural Club this past year.

cmcb06 · 06-20-2006, 03:48 PM

That sorta reminds me of when I was in the 7th grade in middle school. Choir was an elective, and I signed up for it....little did I know that my crush also was taking it!!

Man, it brought back FUN and admiring times!!
