I wish you could help me the short answer of my college application essay.
Many thanks
Question:
Please briefly elaborate on one of your activities.
I was elected as the President of the class of 2007 in high school. My job of being a President was to supervise students participating in school and community activities and coordinate teachers. I organized the 2005 New Year¡¯s Overnight Carnival, and assisted members of my class to participate in the 2005 High School Art Festival, the 2005 High School Sport Meeting, the 2005 High School Debate Contest, and the 2005 High School Fashion Show. I also established a profound friendship between students in my high school and the kids in Laurel Orphanage. Moreover, one of my significant coordination with teachers was to successfully develop a Night Classes program which had given extra help for many students with needs. As working in the president position, my leadership skills have been accelerated. Nowadays leadership is more important than many other skills for a person. I am glad that I had developed this elaborate skill in high school that will be more helpful for me when I go to the college.

The short answer of your college application essay could be something like this:
As the President of the class of 2007 in high school, my main responsibilities were supervising students in school and community activities, coordinating teachers, and organizing events such as the 2005 New Year's Overnight Carnival. I also worked on establishing a strong friendship between students in my high school and the young people in Laurel Orphanage. One of my significant achievements was successfully developing a Night Classes program to provide extra help for students with specific needs. Through my experiences as President, I have developed valuable leadership skills that I believe will be beneficial in college.
In order to improve the clarity and effectiveness of your essay, you should consider the following suggestions:
1. Remove unnecessary repetition: Delete redundant phrases like "being a President" and "my job of."
2. Clarify your role in coordinating teachers: Specify how you coordinated teachers and in what areas, such as organizing meetings or managing communication between teachers and students.
3. Use stronger and more specific language: Replace the word "profound" with a stronger word like "strong" to describe the friendship between students.
4. Clarify the needs of the students: Explain what specific needs the Night Classes program aimed to address, such as academic support or additional educational resources.
5. Clearly state the benefits of your leadership skills: Explain how your developed leadership skills will be helpful in college. Are there specific situations or challenges where your leadership skills will come into play?
