Agree with all of the above. OP, did you do any independent study work? Did you spend free time researching something and becoming an expert at something? Did you write for hours a day? If so, you can include those as ECs. As a homeschooler, schools want to see how you took advantage of your situation. You said, “that by choosing to be homeschooled, I gave up a lot of the opportunities I could have.” That’s just not true. My kids have had tons of opportunities because they chose to learn at home, not only academically, but extracurricularly.
