Extracurricular Memo
Nina does not need a longer activity list. She needs a cleaner business story. The student store, internship, and business club already point in one direction; the next upgrade is proof quality.
The highest-value move is a one-page student-store case study with numbers, decisions, leadership, and the next improvement target. That gives the family a concrete artifact to show a counselor, mentor, or application reader.
