An idea I want to run with..

I want to write my common app essay, selecting the “any topic choice”, on my summer job as a camp counselor. I specifically want to talk about how great it feels to finally be able to try my hand at shaping the community that brought me up. I mean, up until this job, all of my efforts have had some outcome. A great score on math team ranked our team well, and a good run in DI placed our team in higher level tournaments. But here, with my job, there is no satisfaction but personal, and there is no end product; our community continues with each new slew of kids.

I dunno if anyone can help me shape this. I want to end with my last week, in which at the grocery store, one of my campers saw me and was terribly excited. It was just heartwarming.
