It sounds like you're already working extremely hard in all areas of your life, so I don't think you need to add any more activities to your schedule. If your goal is to attend a top college in the US, your focus should be on improving your English skills. You're clearly an accomplished person overall, but your English is a bit hard to understand, which will be a big issue when applying to highly competitive American schools.

I'd recommend reading this article on how to apply to colleges in the US as an international student and integrating the advice into your preparations for college. If you haven't already, you should definitely think about taking the TOEFL. It may be helpful to look up what the minimum TOEFL score requirements are for the schools that you're interested in attending.
