Can anyone correct my personal statement essay for me? It's due by the end of this month and I don't know who else to ask for correction. Thank you so much.

"Why can't you just use the back side of your homework paper?" I wonder how many times my friends and teachers has asked me that question every time I turn in my homework. My pre-calculus teacher that I had two years ago still complains about me and my "microscopic" handwriting to his current students to never turn in homework papers like mine. Rarely do I even use the back side of a paper so I can use the plain back side for maybe the next homework assignment or to take notes and make good use off of it. I even tell my younger siblings to save papers that are blank on the back side so they can doodle on the back. Although people might think I'm weird as to how extreme anti-waster I am, I never felt ashamed. Why would I be?
I want to make good use off of everything I have; not only materialistic things, but also time and opportunities. I consider school as an opportunity, not a given, so I take full advantage. To save paper and ink money, I print mostly everything at the school's library. I joined as many community service clubs I could and because of that, I was able to go to RYLA, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, the most motivational leadership camp that I have ever experienced. If I never joined Interact club, I wouldn't have known about RYLA. I wouldn't have met Jim Brogan, an inspiring man who had taught me so many successful tools in life or be amazed by how close you can get with people you knew for only four days with leadership skills. I also like to save time. I update my schedule on my phone during the car ride to school and study flashcards for an upcoming test while I wait in a line.
By being engaged in school and community, I never had any regrets. It only helped me become a better person. Like Carl in Yes Man, I say yes to many opportunities. If I don't, I get disappointed to miss another great opportunity that I could learn and experience from. My sole purpose to volunteer at first was for community service hours to "look good" for college. Now, it's because I want to. I'd always whine, "There's nothing to do in this town." until I discovered the "behind-the-scene" of my community when I volunteered. It's fun to watch the Christmas Parade, but I learned that it's more fun to participate in the parade. I get excited to be able to do so many things that keeps me active. Although I'm happy to be able to serve my community, I'm more excited in myself that I got to meet new people or had fun volunteering with friends. My personal quality of disliking wasting things makes me proud as it allows me live my life to the fullest. If it wasn't for this unique personality of mine, I would careless, like most people, to feed the homeless when I could be sleeping at home. I constantly remind myself how there's limits to everything that I shouldn't waste anything to make the best of everything so it makes me proud to be able to enjoy life with what I already have and what's given to me. All the motivation, inspiration and self-confidence had been by being involved. I made long-lasting friends in clubs who had given me so many life lessons. I receive more and more self-confidence as I learn new things in my community.
I feel uncomfortable whenever I'm not productive with time; uneasy to see clean sheets of paper thrown away and regret to find an item on clearance after I bought it. Unhappy to see things go to waste; that's exactly what defines me. Although I'm happy with what I'm doing, I still strive to do more. I want to take a guitar lesson someday, learn karate, organize a club, obtain a pilot license, go to educational camps, and so on. I'm not superwoman; I can't do everything at once, but little by little, I'll say yes.
