Vires, Artes, and Mores. These three latin words paint us a picture of what it means to be a human being of great asperation. Vires signifies strength of all kinds; Artes alludes to the beauty of intellectual pursuits; and Mores refers to character, custom, and tradition. If you look at anyone who has made a lasting impact on our society then you will notice they prominently express one or more of these traits.
The problem here is that you are essentially recapitulating the prompt, forgetting that your readers know very well what Vires, Artes, and Mores are
and that they have read hundreds, perhaps thousands, of essays on the topic. What Liebe rather unkindly expressed probably is, unfortunately, the sentiment an admissions officer would have upon reading your first paragraph. What you've got to do, instead, is jump right in with an anecdote or illustration of one of these virtues in your life.
