Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. (Approximately 250 words)
Although there are many communities that have contributed to the development of who I am today, I would have to say that the Christian community has played an important role in my life. I am a member of our local church. It is a small church with only a congregation of 400 and it is truly a family. I am glad I am a part of this family. This family has shaped my values and my morals over the years.
I was a very rebellious child for years, getting into trouble and even getting suspended during middle school. Since my admission into this family, I have certainly changed. I have found peace with my soul and I have calmed down my rebellious spirit. During my years at church I have grown and learned how to have principles in life. I have been a faithful member and a student in this church. I am also a leader for younger children. I teach them morals and principles. I give them life lessons through experiences in my life and, because I play guitar on the praise team band, I occasionally give guitar lessons to younger children.
I am reminded each day of how greatly church has affected my throughout my life. I am a strong leader and a strong student because of this community. I have made countless relationships with friends that will last a lifetime, but most important of all, I have learned to be an adult through the church.

Update:@PE2008 you didn't even read what I wrote. In the prompt it says "religion". IDK why they would want to set you up for you to fail.

In your 2nd paragraph i wouldn't mention how you got suspended. Just leave it at i was a rebellious child, you don't have to go into details about that. At some points it felt to repetitive but other than those two things its good!
It is dangerous to talk about religion in college (entrance) essays.
A large number of (liberal) readers will conclude anyone belonging to a church is suspect and probably mildly mentally ill, and will find a way to deny your application.
Don't risk it.

OK... Don't be surprised if your application is mysteriously rejected...
