UC Essays (goal: Berkeley and Davis)

Would someone (who preferably has experience in these kinds of essays) be willing to look at my UC essays for both prompts and give honest feedback?

Also, on a kind of side note:

Is it true that the UC essays shouldn’t be on the creative side?

Can anyone give an example of a successful UC essay? I’ve looked at the ones on the Essay Hell blog, but I’m not sure what UC schools those were accepted to, other than the Davis student’s essay.
