How beneficial is job shadowing?
I'm an 11th grade student in B.C Canada and many of my older friends in school talk about job shadowing in the field they would like to go into. Essentially my question is would job shadowing be beneficial for a high school student or is it more intended for post-secondary students? If it's ok for high school students, is it any different from applying to a job or do I have to email places if they allow job shadowing?

Should I even consider applying to boarding school?
Hi, I am a 15-year-old who is interested in applying to Choate Rosemary Hall this year. I have been waiting for this moment for the last year, and now I am just made of anxiety. I have no concerns regarding the required testing or application process. I think I can achieve results in the 85TH+ percentile. I can get the necessary recommendation letters, and have no problem writing an essay. I have been dancing for about eight months, and have completed recreational courses through Coursera. I am soon going to start volunteering at a local farm. I am pretty much a typical mediocre applicant, however that will change when you see my school record. I have a history of truancy, mediocre grades, and two suspension’s. I can definitely raise up my grades, and attend school on time for the next few months. However, I am not sure if that would make a difference considering this change in behavior is so close to the application date. I have seen other students statistics, and I am a bit scared and question if it’s even worth applying. I feel like nothing I do will be enough. The only decently interesting thing about me is my truancy problem.

I'd like to keep busy, always have something to aim for, I don't want to be stagnent in life. I know this is a difficult question but any advice would be greatly appreciated🙏
