Year 12 trying to go onto dentistry course

I know I want to do dentistry in 2 years time, but I am not a very well rounded person as of right now. I was wondering what extra curriculars would strengthen my personal statement?

Extracurriculars that demonstrate that you are organized and have leader-like qualities would be good e.g if you can help your school arrange certain events as part of a school council.

Other extracurriculars that show you can work as part of a team - maybe you could play a team sport or do some volunteering where you can work with others to help people.

I would think an extracurricular that helps you develop your manual dexterity would be good too - something like sketching, painting, playing an instrument or even stitching and knitting.
