What can homeschoolers do for extracurricular activities?

I suggest getting a job in what you really love to do. If you play an instrument, a band might be nice, or if you act, the same is true. But you seem to love to write. Try applying for an internship at a newspaper near you, or something along those lines. It would look impressive, and it would give you experience in a feild of writing you dont seem as familiar with.

Art is always a good idea- maybe you could combine it with a community aspect… teaching children at a nearby day care center? It would probably turn into a mess of paint, but it could be fun as well.

I would also suggest taking courses, maybe in the summer, at a good college. Your scores are definently high enough, and it will allay some of the silly superstitions people have about homeschooled students. You can also find some first class instruction.
