Format for the "try something new" prompt?

I didn’t choose that prompt because I knew I’d make it cheesy.

Example of cheesy:

"I went scuba diving for the first time when I visited Australia when I was 10. I had a fear of drowning so the thought of diving into the aquatic world was petrifying to me. However, i knew that if i didn’t face my fears, i would never be able to overcome them. I told myself that I can do this and within the next second, my whole body was submerged in water. I started to panic but I managed opened my eyes despite my erratic state. There, before me, I saw a colorful array of sea life. I saw groups of fish swimming and patches of coral swaying along with the ocean’s undertow. (More descriptive crap here). When my head popped out of the water, I became invincible; my fear of drowning had gone away … if i hadn’t forced myself to try diving, despite my fears, I never would have been able to dream about becoming a marine biologist. And today, I still aspire to be one.

SORRY FOR MY BAD 2 MINUTE ESSAY I WROTE MY GRAMMAR AND EVERYTHING SUCKS I KNOW.
But yeah, don’t go for something like that. Try to think outside the box a bit. Sorry if I wasn’t of any help but this is all I can write to you right now. good luck!
