Scott,
After thinking about your evaluation of my profile, I decided to volunteer and involve with community activities.
I know it does not sound overly ethical but I guess it is better than doing nothing and then making up stories in the application.So,which one do you think would be more effective or differentiating ,
-Being a big brother(mentor) for a kid, basically you are responsible for every aspect of the life of the child and you act as a role model. It is a very reputable organization in Australia.
-Volunteering for environmental organizations.
- Charity, fund raising
I believe the first one would suit me the most( you can see my profile below again) . I also come from a not very rich family and always worked hard in my life,I think I really would get satisfaction from it too. But I need to hear what you think.
Also, do you think focusing on one organization/acitivity is better? Or can I get involved with 2 activity?
Thanks.

If you think you would enjoy 1) the most, then you may want to consider it. One reservation though, if you are doing this knowing that you would essentially "abandon" your mentee once you are accepted to b-school and leave for school, then it's probably not an ethical selection.
In the world of volunteering, it's less what the activity is and more how passionate you are for that activity. Any of the three would be fine.
