science-cum-engineering aficionado and artistic-cum-philanthropic

As an active volunteer of XXX, I routinely assist my district's chapter during disaster management & health care missions. After several training sessions on handling of pharmaceutical apparatuses and medications, I was even assigned by the society's President to supervise a couple of blood donation and health check-up campaigns through which I not only gained hands-on medical skills of preserving blood samples & measuring blood pressure, but I also felt an unusual delight while examining, diagnosing the symptoms, and suggesting minor prescriptions to the participants. Despite being a science-cum-engineering aficionado, I am eventually aware of my pharmacological gusto.

During my entire student life, I'd partaken in none of the school theatricals; however, the XXX's initiative in collecting charity for the quake victims of 25th April, 2015 as well as enlightening the passersby about Earthquake preparedness through an influential street play seemed worthy of my participation. We performed an act called 'Eghharaw Pachaas'- translated into English as Eleven Fifty, the approximate time of the catastrophic 2015's tremor- in eventful spots around the city. Through this artistic-cum-philanthropic venture with my XXX colleagues, I garnered an unprecedented acclaim for my appreciable dramatics, not to mention I discovered my new avatar. I am not just a bookworm burning midnight oil to sustain magnificent academics or an athlete toiling behind the soccer nets for the triumph, but I've come out as a 'Hero'-a compelling stimulus towards the renovation and attentiveness of several unacquainted-but-wounded individuals simply via a street performance.

Nanda, you badly need a transition sentence or paragraph in this essay that will effectively and relevantly connect your first activity, as an emergency volunteer, with your theater arts activity. It is important that you transition the story you are telling because the sudden shift in discussion is surprising and has the reviewer, or in this case, me, wondering about what the connection is between the two activities. Since the two activities relate to the earthquake. Develop something about the earthquake as the connection between the two.

By the way, in the last sentence of your first paragraph, I hope you will consider an improvement to the presentation of the sentence as it seems quite awkward at the moment. I suggest that you present that part as follows instead:

Although I am an admitted Science and Engineering aficionado, I acknowledge that I also have an interest in Pharmacy. Which is why I enjoyed giving prescription suggestions to the patients.

Before I forget, please review the capitalization use in your essay. You have words such as "president" capitalized when it should be written in lower case and proper nouns such as "Science" and "Engineering" written in lower case when it should be in upper case for the first letter as it refers to the formal title of a subject.
