Ever since my grandfather had a heart attack three summers ago, I have volunteered my afternoons and weekends at the local hospital.

Explanation:

The chosen sentence contains the most suitable language and register for a personal essay of a college application. The reason is that the vocabulary, grammar and use of words are appropriate for a formal essay, punctuation is correct, it is a complex sentence, and it does not make use of cliches or informal expressions.

The rest of the alternatives are improper for the formality of a college admission essay since they include casual phrases, a wrong choice of words and simple sentences, which create an inappropriate use of language and syntax for the conventions of the task.
