1-4 were just excuses/complaining. A lot of people are stuck with lousy opportunities in high school. You need to make your own. To echo earlier posters, definitely try for leadership positions in the activities you are already involved in, and also start one or two new organizations that you can really put a lot of effort into. That said, I really think you have a low chance of getting into Yale. If that is your dream, you should apply, but you need some serious safeties.
