is my college essay topic too basic?

Personal brandpersonal statementcollege essaywriting tipscommunity service

I've been working on my personal statement, and I chose to write about my experience volunteering at a local food bank. I feel like it's a really important topic, but I keep hearing that admissions officers want something unique.

Do you think writing about community service is too common? What tips do you have to make it stand out?
