I feel like sometimes those statements are mainly to see if you are a good writer, and if you communicate well, and the substance isn't quite as important.

I think, like Kevin said, they're also expecting you to boast about yourself. So, make yourself out to be a Mother Theresa; emphasize every favorable aspect about yourself.
