you should really write about something that will catch their attention. I found that writing about a personal experience that greatly affected or influenced you really works well.
I read an example of one when I was in the application process of a guy who wrote about being homosexual and how it affected his life and the struggles he had to go through. You'd think colleges wouldn't want to know this stuff but he got admitted to a big-time school; I can't remember which one it was.
Bottom line, make yourself stand out. They don't necessarily want to know that you think you are smart enough or have good enough ACT scores; they want to know what you can bring to their university.
Good luck and stick with it, I know this process really sucks a lot.
Oh and is "c-town tennessee" collierville? That's the only C I can think of in TN, and i know it's a suburb of Memphis; my cousin lives there.
