#12You've got a real nice sense of design: in general, and especially for a 14 year old!! And keep doing what you love. Don't worry about the SAT's your sophomore summer. http://www.paulgraham.com/hs.html
I second this. Summers should not be spent studying for the SAT. Also, a good internship will look much better on a college app than a few extra points.

Sadly, nope, unless you're applying to a high-end private school. I know the UC system doesn't care at all about your work experience, and even if you founded a company when you were in HS, that would at best be worth 150-300 SAT points.
Now that I think about it, it's scary that I still remember this.

it will look better on a resume for jobs/further internships down the road though which is just as important anyway

I think I should study for the SAT, because I'll only be giving up one of my summers (I can intern during my Freshman, Junior and Senior summers)

#18Man when I was that age, my only concern in the world was trading Pokemon cards after school. I wouldn't have given up that carefree experience for the world. I don't know how I feel when I read about things like this. It starts off as jealousy that the kids started their "career" at such a young age, then respect towards them for the same reason, but then I feel sad because at the end of the day I feel like they're…
The world has changed so much since then. I am only 22 so I think we are pretty much the same age. Kids don't even watch cartoon now. They play games on ipad and make vine videos...

Kids definitely still watch cartoons. A lot. Source: currently watching Regular Show with my 4 younger siblings.

There's also a lack of cartoons to even attempt to watch outside of the Cartoon Network. Parents were worried about their kids watching too much cartoons, but seem to mostly turn a blind eye to overusing tablets, phones and PCs.
