Good stuff, but if you are open to a bit of constructive criticism; Your opening sentence is a tad informal. For all I know, that is how your school like it. However, just changing a couple things makes it (in my eyes anyway) a bit better.

Instead of:

Ever wished you could fix societies problem in a matter of a second? Ever dreamed that we could restore our environment and clean all the pollution?

How about?:

Have you ever wished you could fix society's problems in a matter of seconds or reverse the damages of environmental polution?

If you are doing the old padding out the word count thing I more than understand. However, just a few other things; starting sentences with 'But' (But recently I found....) is tricky and has to be done with care. In fact, if you take the 'but' off of that sentence it because considerably stronger.

The only other thing I would ask is; Are you encouraged to write essays in first person?

Not knocking in anyway, I just finished a double major degree and have writen more essays than I ever wish to see again in my entire life. Just trying to lend a helping hand.
