This essay is very strong and clear. Just make those corrections Sean mentioned.
Thanks for the correction. i appreciated.
Oh, I just realized I never answered your original question: yes, this essay answers the question. The only problem you might have is that you focus on one area, whereas the prompt asks for "areas," plural. However, I assume this is only one part of your application, and that you have covered your other strengths in other essays, so you should be okay.
