For example, I grew up in a close-knit community, so I joined the dance troupe and served as the lead dancer and class representative. Because of these roles I learned leadership and teamwork skills, and they gave me confidence to try other things.

× I had a lot of opportunities to take part in activities.
✓ I had many opportunities to take part in activities.
The sentence uses 'a lot of' which is acceptable but 'many' is more natural before plural countable noun 'opportunities'. Suggest using 'many' for formal speech and clarity.
× For example, I was a part of the dense community, so I did a lot of activity at the first dancer, the first student.
✓ For example, I was part of a close-knit community, so I took part in many activities, first as a dancer and then as a top student.
Original sentence is unclear and contains awkward phrases. 'A part of' can be simplified to 'part of'. 'Dense community' is incorrect collocation; 'close-knit community' is appropriate. 'Did a lot of activity' should be 'took part in many activities'. 'At the first dancer, the first student' seems to try to express sequence; use 'first... and then...' for chronology.
× I mean I was a leader and teacher gave a lot of stuff that I can do.
✓ I mean I was a leader, and the teacher gave me many tasks to do.
Missing object pronoun: 'teacher gave a lot of stuff that I can do' should specify recipient 'me' and use 'tasks' instead of informal 'stuff'. Also change 'can' to past 'could' or 'to do' to match context; here 'to do' is natural.
× I absolutely agree with the statement that people have to do a lot of activities that they can't just because it's train their skills, improve things, it drains memories and it's really cool to be interesting in everything.
✓ I absolutely agree that people should try many different activities because it trains their skills, improves things, strengthens memories, and it's exciting to be interested in many things.
Several errors: 'have to' implies obligation—'should' fits recommendation. 'They can't just' is incorrect and unclear; removed. Verb forms need agreement: 'train' -> 'trains', 'improve' -> 'improves'. 'Drains memories' is wrong meaning; use 'strengthens memories' or 'boosts memory'. 'be interesting in everything' -> 'be interested in many things'. Also replace informal or incorrect phrases for clarity and correct subject-verb agreement.
