I'm struggling a bit with the two TMDSAS essays below: 2500 char each

Learning from others is enhanced in educational settings that include individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Please describe your personal characteristics (background, talents, skills, etc.) or experiences that would add to the educational experience of others.

Briefly state any unique circumstances or life experiences that are relevant to your application.

Is there somewhere that people have found examples for these essays? Or if there are similar examples from AMCAS secondaries?

In particular, I'm not particularly sure if I should explicitly write out some of the characterisitics for the 1st essay - like should I say I explicitly say I have leadership/empathy, etc and then give examples?
For one of these I want to write about my experiences teaching/tutoring. However, I don't want it to sound like I want to go into education, but rather focus it on how it would make me a better classmate/doc. Should I be worried about this considering the PS explains why I want to be a physician?
