What is the best way to write a scholarship-winning essay?

I've found that I can be a good writer if it is for a literature class, but whenever it comes to bragging about what I have done within four years I'm a blank and whatever I write becomes emotionless and tacky. I currently have no clue for how to fix this so any ideas help!

Is using my close friends death as an accomplishment I learned to accept and have another reason to reach my life goal too much for my college essay?

Just a thought I had in my head, because I don't have any trauma I went through because I lived a good life and child hood but I know losing my friend was my biggest heart break, if that makes sense?
