PLEASE CLICK!! help needed!

Okay as you all know, UC's require admission essays(duh). Here is the prompt according to their site.



* Respond to both prompts, using a maximum of 1,000 words total.
* You may allocate the word count as you wish. If you choose to respond to one prompt at greater length, we suggest your shorter answer be no less than 250 words.
* Stay within the word limit as closely as you can. A little over — 1,012 words, for example — is fine.

Prompt #1 (freshman applicants)

Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
Prompt #1 (transfer applicants)

What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field — such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities — and what you have gained from your involvement.
Prompt #2 (all applicants)

Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?

Can anyone give me any suggestions on the structure, content, and how to word such essay?!!??! I can write it myself, it's just that I really need to brainstorm.

**My friends also told me to include how I was raised and born in Argentina. One of my major qualities is that I'm a really sporty/healthy guy, playing many sports such as (in order of skill and preference): soccer, basketball, swimming/waterpolo. I'm not sure if these are relevant, but just wanted to inform all of you . OOO I'm also Korean and I speak 3 languages if that is important -_-

I appreciate all those who found the time to help me! God bless yall!
