It is typically a good idea to begin to develop a resume, that can be used in a variety of ways. You can give the resume to your teachers, who will work on your recommendations. That will help them to get to know you more broadly, as opposed to just their experiences with you in their class. You might even submit the resume as part of your college applications , if the resume adds important details about your activities which you don’t feel are adequately described in your application forms and essays.
The resume can take different forms depending on its use. For example, a sport-oriented resume featuring academic details (test scores, advanced courses taken, GPA, etc.) as well as a focus on a particular sport can be useful to give to coaches, who might be interested in recruiting you. A resume without the academic piece, which would be covered elsewhere in your applications, but with a lengthier focus on one or more activity themes (community service, leadership, music, etc.) could be a helpful component of your applications. We often encourage students to add several sentences of narrative detail to their resumes where they describe what they have done and learned through their various activities.
