Essay or not?

An application form I'm trying to fill out has this entry listed under 'Exceptional talents and achievements'.

"This section is an opportunity for you to elaborate on the information you have provided earlier. You may wish to discuss a special talent, a personal experience or an activity that you have been involved in that is relevant to the course(s) that you are applying for admission.

As there is a space limit of 2,000 characters for your input in this section, you are encouraged to present your thoughts clearly."

Would this be similar to you standard college application essay (trying to stand out and all) or would a simple elaboration of some achievements be sufficient, almost resume-type?

What would you guys recommend?
