Extra curricular activities and workexperience

Hi,
I was abroad for a 7montjs cause of family stuff so i wasn’t able to enrol to my first choose sixthform . Instead i enrolled to this online a level learning thingy however im finding it so hard to join extra curricular activities cause i don’t have a school that directly provides it . I’ve also emailed law firms and shops for work experience and i haven’t heard back what do i do

I think maybe give them a ring if you have direct contact details for them. You can also volunteer which helps build up great experience and I could give you some tips on some online groups if you’re interested in what sort of hobbies do you like? Extra curricular wise, you could maybe go to a local leisure centre or community centre and see what they have for your age group

you should try entering essay competitions, loads of them are free and show your academic capabilities and you can even win prizes. there are literally hundreds just type into google essay competitions about xxxx and you will 100% find something, the hard part is actually writing them
