What Case Western is really asking
What have you done that nobody rewarded you for, and what does it show about you?
The mistake most applicants make
Picking something impressive that would in fact fit on a resume, or something so small the reader cannot see why it matters.
Do this instead
Choose the thing you did when no one was watching: teaching a sibling to read, fixing something at home, a habit you kept for three years. Tell it in scenes, and let the reader see the quality it reveals without naming it. This essay is the one that makes them like you.
How to spend 750 words
750 words is a full short essay. Build it around one story with a clear turn, use real names and details, and let the reflection grow out of the story instead of being announced at the end.
