Should I accept this administrative volunteer position at a hospital?

I am a freshman in college going pre-med. Should I accept this administrative volunteer position at a hospital? Like handling papers and transporting patients. While it doesn't count as clinical hours, do you still think it is important to have this volunteering position? I need to fulfill 150 hours for it before being able to work in the other volunteering departments in the hospital.

As a 17 year old kid what should I do as a person also aspiring to study neuroscience to become a neurosurgeon?

I already study it in my free time, do a lot of research about it, and have many medical books, etc. However, having genuine knowledge from an experienced doctor could help me. Even if they aren't in the same medical field as I am, or striving to go into the same field as I am. If there's anyone who is capable of helping me I'd be open to communicating and listening.

How do I shadow someone in the career field I want to go into? (Multiple questions below)

I am a junior in high school and I really want to shadow a dentist and a sonographer because those are my top two choices. By shadowing it'll help me understand which career path I would rather go into. It would also give me some good experience. HOWEVER, my problem is no one is answering my emails. Has this happened to anyone? Is there anything else I should do? Is there something besides shadowing that will help me gain more insight?

I am Not Quite Sure What To Do For College and What The Process is Like

I am in the 7th grade and I am just beginning to explore my future career, what are some careers and helpful next steps I should consider based on my passions and interests? At school, I am most interested in music, English, and science and math when it isn't to easy, but I don't think that I would want to continue doing math throughout my life and have it be a big part of my life and career. My hobbies include baking, singing and songwriting, acting and running. I am really interested in solving problems and mysteries, especially proving a point, but also hands on work. I would also love to go to a college with a good cross country program. A topic that I am passionate is law and medicine, but I want to weigh out my options and see what else I could do as a career because I don't have to make a decision quite yet. What are some careers options that best align with these interests and what are some helpful next steps I can do in the near future?

How to Strengthen My Med School Application Beyond Grades?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for ways to make my medical school application stand out beyond just grades. I love helping my community and want to find opportunities that give me both medical experience and a chance to give back. I’ve been thinking about reaching out to medical non-profits for volunteer work, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or how impactful it would be.Does anyone have suggestions for finding research opportunities, internships, or other experiences that med schools value? Thanks in advance for your advice!
