<p>I honestly don’t know if the UC system keeps your personal statements for a sustained period of time. For this question, I defer to the greater wisdom of the collegeconfidential
community (and or your nearest counseler).</p>
<p>But honestly–and this is me being an armchair admissions officer now–it would strike me strange if a student was discussing a high school activity on his transfer application. I don’t think I would necessarily view you as lazy per se, but it would make me curious as to why you were not discussing something more recent. Had the student not done anything of note during his underclassmen community college years? Maybe a better route would be to update your essay (so you can still use some of the good stuff you wrote) with an eye toward it moving into the future. Ideally, you will want to show that the person you are now (as in the present person reading this very post) is a long culmination of personal and professional development instead of possibly giving the false impression that you peaked four years ago or whatever it was.</p>
<p>Again, just my two cents, as an armchair admissions officer.</p>
