You said junior high and I thought you were in middle school (ages 12-14, grades 6-8 for my friends not in the US).
What's your workload like in school? Do you go to a prestigious school, where you're expected to go Ivy League or bust? What do you want to do in 10 years?
I think that having a solid "hey I did this at this age, check me out" is great. If you want to be a writer, having a book published (regardless of whether or not it sells more than 100 copies) is impressive — at your age, it's really impressive to a lot of people.
If you want to be a cook, having a recipe you developed in a mag is amazing. At your age, it's really impressive to a lot of people.
Who do you want to impress? Yourself? Your family? Your peers? Your educators? And _why_ and for _what gain_?
You sound like a very smart kid (I'm 24, so take that as you will), and I'm sure you'll be just fine regardless.
- strollingpast 11y agoThanks for your reply, I rushed my initial post due to the fact that I had to be out somewhere else. I am finishing Junior High, this year and the job traineeship was offered to me over the two years at Senior High. MIT, if possible. An interesting job with something to do with computers (and possibly law). That is partially why I think it would be good do it, for the experience and the right to differenciate myself from others. Not myself or my family for sure. Possibly my peers and edocators, but rather I hope it would help me get into 'the field'. Thanks!
