Greetings!
Yes! I can tell you some things you should consider including in your essay; then, you can write the essay and I will help you with editing.
It might be easiest for you to first make a list of things that are important in your life, and why (family; school; playing a musical instrument, or creating artistic works; learning about science--whatever things you enjoy). Once you have your list it will be easier to do the actual writing. Also think about what words describe the qualities you posses, and don't be shy! If you are intelligent, say so! Outgoing, introverted, funny, serious, whatever applies to you, include that.
If you'll let yourself start with just a list, then turn it into a rough outline, and then do the actual writing, you'll be less inclined to be sitting there staring at a blank screen wondering what to say. Sometimes it's easier to sit down with pen and paper to start.
Give this a try and I bet you'll find you know plenty about yourself!
Thanks,

I agree, goals and aspirations are a good thing to include as well, if you have room within the word limit. :-)
