tmhyd, you are not writing for a science journal. This is a different type of writing. When I read science articles, they are inherently interesting because they are providing novel information. Your essay is about someone who is, no offense, remarkably similar to many other applicants. Still, the grammar and structure were fine so I’m sure it will go over well. They should realize that their prompt does not leave much room for anything of interest outside the CV!

I also focused on opportunities and not the challenges. They just sound like so much whining unless the writer really overcame something amazingly unique.
