Silly to put a "wrap up" sentence under "descriptions"?

I was looking back at my med school primary application (that I luckily printed) and each time I described an activity, I'd also include a wrap-up sentence. This means that if I described my volunteer experience in the ER I had a wrap us sentence saying something like "This experience allowed me to gain individual experience relating to patients in an acute care setting that will serve me well as a physician..." I wrote a sentence like this for each activity I described.

Part of me thinks that was pretty lame, and would be even more lame to do for ERAS. Do you agree that I should just leave those sentences out and just simply DESCRIBE the activities?

Thanks for your input!
