I feel like as a Christian I'm not doing that wellthough I like helping people around me... are there other ways to improve myself...
Listen to the bible on audio
http://www.audiotreasure.com/, let the word sink into your spirit man. Get the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire! GET THE OIL OF THE OVERCOMER through prayer from your heart and obeying EVERY word of God that He enlightens to you. Count the cost, the price is high to stay in the race to the finish. Surrender all, all you time all you effort all you past all your present all you future. REDEEM the time don't waste it. STRIVE to enter into the strait GATE! Don't assume anything. GOD'S eyes are always on you. He sees what you do in secret and with your free time, and He rewards openly!
You are in the path of life, learn of Jesus and His ways and His heart and follow Him closer than you ever have. Put Him first or your religion will be in vain. Repent quickly when you stumble. Cast EVERY thought down to the OBEDIENCE of Jesus Christ! Make sure He is Lord indeed of your life in every area! Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. Seek Him with all you strength and heart and you will find Him! Don't excuse your sin's and don't forget to give thanks in all things to the Father in Jesus name.
The rest is in the word of God.
Be blessed in your journey home!
