Same as nofodad, I won't read it either, however,ask the ROO at a school you are interested in or at the one year are interviewing at to read it. My daughter found that helpful. And I also have three other pieces of advice,
1. Be concise, you get very little space, just a few thousand characters.
2. Don't be overly creative, what I meanis, answer the question and tell your REAL story, even if it seems really simple. This was advice from an ROO, my daughter thought her reason for wanting to be an officer was too basic, but the advice she received was to own it, it will be more impactful if it is genuine (she simply talked to a family friend about ROTC and the Army in middle school who had served and has wanted to follow the same path ever since).
3. Don't over think or over use the English teacher part. After you have written it, made sure it is the right length, had an ROO give advice, have an English teacher or someone you trust that is competent at English give it a look over. Because your English expert isn't who you are bare going to for advice on content, simply to see grammar or flow mistakes you didn't catch on your own.
