Example (not parallel): Johnathon is an athlete, out-going, and making straight A’s. This sentence has a noun, an adjective and a verb phrase. How would you make this sentence parallel?

Examples (parallel): Johnathon is athletic, out-going, and studious. Three adjectives Johnathon is an athlete, an out-going person, and a straight A student. Three nouns in a series. Johnathon plays sports, socializes with everyone, and makes great grades. Three verb phrases.
