You and I both know that I am going to BS this application question. I will list everything I think you want to hear and you will eat it up. In fact everyone doing this essay is writing exactly what you want to hear, "I enjoy improving myself through taking on leadership roles." Well fuck that, I am going to tell you straight up, I like it when people listen to me, I like feeling like I have the power to change something, I like to be heard. I am sick of spoon feeding you all of my achievements, all of my previous leadership roles. I told you what you want to hear, now read what I have to say. I want to be in the SLFP because I know it will be a good experience for me, it will count towards my edge hours, help me land an RA job, and I know it will look really good on my resume. I am sure your program will help me grow as a leader and I am sure it will open many doors for me. None of that matters though because I probably will not get in if I sound just like every other applicant, I mean you only pick 50 out of god knows how many. I am just not that special. Here is why you should pick me though, I am a natural born leader, I crave it. I want this not because of all the perks I already listed to you. I want this because I crave the ability to change things, an ability which is almost nonexistent without a leadership position. All I ask is that you have mercy on my standard answers to your standard questions, I am manipulating you, because I know what you want and I want to be what you want.
Needless to say this is only what I want to turn it, not what I will.
