Can someone please help me with my personal statement?

<p>Hi guys! (:
I'm new here. I'm a junior in high school, and I've decided to start writing my personal statements over the summer.
For the second UC prompt, I've written two essays. I know it's a lot of work, but could someone please read both of one, tell me which one is the better one, and then maybe critique it a little?
Please message me with your email. I don't want to post it on the forums because I'm dubious of it's quality. I'm not the best writer. I took a bit of a creative license too.
Thank you so much for your time (:</p>
