When I went to college 30 years ago, we didn't have to present a history of volunteer work or public service to be accepted into a university of choice. Fast forward to today, and things are much more competitive not only academically, but also service-wise.
My son is a 17 year old junior and we are in the middle of SAT prep, visiting universities, applying for scholarships, and investigating volunteer/service options. Then it dawned on me that Weston's years of helping me guide other private collectors and academic staff (for free of course), as well as collecting with family and making periodic, downsizing donations to area schools, clubs and institutions could all be brought back into play at this critical time in his life, both for what he's done already, as well as what he can do going forward.
