Don;t be scared of the essay format. If you are addressing the questions it is already an essay.
Write them out for yourself as answers or bullet points, or whatever you are most comfortable with - THEN make it a cohesive essay.
And don't be too embarrassed to refer to the question. This is not creative writing, this is an application. So that if a question is, "What is your preparedness?" (WTF?) feel free to start a paragraph something like, "I have shown great preparedness all my life. Even when I was 15 I was already taking condoms on dates" etc etc etc.
This is what they are looking for at this stage - boxes being ticked.
Can read/ comprehend/ write/ spell - tick.
Goals - tick.
Preparedness - tick.
Etc etc etc,
