Taking some college classes is a really good idea for the reasons mentioned: research and recommendations (also just to grow as an individual and to establsih a 3rd party transcript). Most colleges are looking for evidence of “leadership” which could include organizing and motivating a peer group to do something useful for your community. Also, things that show “intellectual vitality” are important, so perhaps you could find a way to get some of your writing published? You don’t mention sports, but if you are interested, this is also a good social outlet in consideration of Texas137’s point. Dance is another outlet of this type that shows you as being socially at ease.

You don’t mention mention much about math/science, but if this is an interest, ask Texas137 for advice on this subject. He is the top brain on CC for contests, competitions, and awards related to math and science.
