How do I save this essay?

<p>I’m currently on my fifth draft of an essay for common apps. In my essay, I talk about a setback that I experienced and how I grew from that. I think that my essay has some good ideas and interesting style, however my essay leaves a impression of me being a hard worker to readers(which is something that would be redundant to say in an essay). I was wondering if anyone could read my essay and give me some help on how to alter it so it focuses on talking about my innovative aspects only. But this is difficult, since the setback is also apart of the essay, and I can’t leave out talking about how I overcame it.</p>

<p>Anyone interested?</p>
