Colleges, from what I've heard, would prefer a narrative. They always say "show vs. tell" and this is a great opportunity to do so. You want to imply the following things, if possible, within your narrative: why you do the EC, what you do for it, and how you and others benefit.

For example: my essay was about my thoughts heading into and after my final putt in my final golf tournament. It was implied that I loved the game and that I dedicated a ton of time to it. I could have just written a dry statement saying the same thing, but top colleges (again, from what I've heard) don't want to see cookie-cutter stuff.

PM me if you still want help.
