The 2500 of us in the program may be merely teenagers, but we were able to come together to form a mock government with a united voice even with our diverse range of opinions and ideas.

From working as a delegation constructing legislation to working in Sacramento as a fully functioning youth government, being a part of this program has been and continues to be a thrilling and rewarding experience.

The 2,500 of us in the program may have been merely teenagers, but we were able to come together to form a mock government with a united voice. Even with our diverse range of opinions we still succeeded in the end.

From working as a delegation(constructing legislation), to working in Sacramento(as a fully functioning youth government), being a part of this program has been, and continues to be, a thrilling and rewarding experience.

:]

Although the program is compiled with 2500 merely teenagers with a diverse range of opinions and ideas, we were still able to come together and unite our voices to form a successful(?) mock government.

From working as a delegation constructing legislation to working in Sacramento as a fully functioning youth government, being a part of this program has been and continues to be a thrilling and rewarding experience.

Hope I helped somehow. Can you take a look at mine, please?

Do you mind looking over my essay again? I made a few corrections.

Thanks!

The problem with these sentences in my opinions is Run-on.

You translate your native language directly into english, which is a difficult for students who take English as a second language.

Here are my suggestions

The 2500 of us in the program may be mere teenagers, but we were able to come together to form a mock government with a united voice despite our diverse range of opinions and ideas.

merely is an adverb so it describes mainly verbs, i think mere is a good replacement.
