I want to be a high school English teacher after high school and finishing college. I’m a 10th grader at the moment and I was wondering what are some extracurricular activities I could do that colleges would like, or what things to ask my English teachers about how they landed their jobs and the such. thanks and love the blog!

I think as long as you’re involved in extra-curriculars, colleges and universities will like how you are well-rounded.  For teaching, something in a leadership role might be useful for your own experiences.

As for asking questions to your teachers, you can ask them just what you wrote here.  Have a regular conversation with them, and ask about what steps need to be in education taken to become a teacher, etc.  Be confident!  They should be happy to help.
