Undergraduate / We are not so powerless as it seems - Bentley [9]
Philipe, your essay, as Lauren mentioned, lacks a personal connection with the kids. You mentioned the death of Danny, but you never tied it into the volunteer activity that you were doing. How do the two relate? Dani was special to you since you mentioned him specifically in this story so you should really work on developing that connection because it shows the importance of the extra curricular activity to you.
I suggest that you start the essay by introducing your extra curricular activity and a brief explanation of what you do there. Then proceed to Dani and explain about your relationship with him and how it relates to the mission and goals or objectives of the organization you work with. Finally, detail how meeting and working with Dani affected you as a person and how it possibly changed you and your life in a way. That will make this activity more memorable and show its importance to you in terms of personal development.
