Bates College Supplement Essay

The essay asks-"How will you, with your life experiences, contribute to the vitality of Bates?"

I having been trying and trying to figure this essay out for a week now and am just drawing blanks. Can someone please give me some tips on what to write?

Bates is a small college. D is a freshmen there. What about your ECs. Is there something there that you could do in college? What about where you have volunteered - would you try to continue that in the Lewiston area? Let yourself come through on the esssay.
