    Question Extracurricular Activities??

    At the end of year 12 we get a resume. We were doing a practice run at school (to make people realise how little they do) and then little interviews. The question arose : "what do you do outside of school?"
    I had very little to say. I mean if I had a uni interview they would not be interested much :/

    So what do you do extracurricularly ?

    I work at KFC, am part of Ambassador program and SRC, Boxing, Film-making, Music learning, does making youtube videos count?

    I really want to do some volunteering particularly caring and helping others. I reckon it'll nourish my personality.

    I only play piano and seldom volunteer.... I should engage more in being extracurricular. I feel like I haven't achieved much :L
    I guess I could also add being a prefect if I end up becoming one, if that counts...

    Yes. Compared to my Yr 7 self, that isn't a lot. Not that I go, but I've always wondered if tutoring/coaching was considered "extra-curricular"?

    ^No, cause tutoring is just reinforcing the curriculum.
