Essays / Essay layout for honors college essay built around Ralph Waldo quote? [2]

Here is the essay prompt:
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." What goals do you currently have for yourself and how will the Honors College help you "make a difference, live and live well" in the community around you?

I'm having trouble even thinking of a layout for this essay. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
