When Aja’s was encouraged to take AP classes, she was nervous. A more challenging course load meant risking the “perfect” GPA she had worked hard to maintain.

But Aja took the leap and discovered that challenging herself didn’t just strengthen her college profile. It strengthened her confidence, too.

For students with big college goals, sometimes growth means choosing the class that stretches you instead of the one that guarantees the easy A.

Hear more from scholars like Aja during TeenSHARP’s annual virtual Back-to-School Success Week, happening next week! Students, advisors, and special guests will share strategies for building a strong high school experience, standing out in selective college admissions, and getting to top colleges with little to no debt.

A high-quality internship can transform your skills, network, confidence, and earning potential. But getting the internship is only the beginning. What you do once you arrive can determine where the opportunity leads.

What do standout interns do differently? 👀

They ask questions, take initiative, build meaningful relationships, and approach every assignment as an opportunity to learn.

But why navigate the internship experience alone when you don’t have to?

TeenSHARP scholars have created a free Summer Internship Playbook filled with practical strategies, lessons, and advice to help students make the most of their internships—and turn a summer opportunity into lasting career momentum.
