I'd stay away from adaptive. It can be seen as a lack of self-confidence.
I find the word "motivated" to be a great word with no negative implications.
Good one, seems a little common, but still quite descriptive, yet broad. Very helpful, and now that I look at it, adaptive is kind of a neutral word while motivated is farther positive.

I can understand coming here asking for assistance and opinions on a topic that everyone can participate and serve as a "catalyst" for your essay. However, your asking us... who have no knowledge of you or anything about you to help you pick a word that would describe you at best, as well as all of your characteristics and personality..ect.
Seems silly to me eh? aka the sarcasm above me
but with that aside, a good structure possibly would be (using myself as an example). The word I would use is probably "curious", "compassionate", "competitive", "free-willed"... I suppose it depends on the context I was wanting to establish. For a scholarship... curious... intelligent, there are so many words that could describe you, pick one and elaborate.
For the pin pal, easy... start jotting something down as if you were on a messenger typing to someone that knows nothing of you and try to describe yourself and give experiences in your life that reflect that and support it... seems pretty easy if you put some thought into it.
I was looking for a bragging word, without sounding like a douchebag. Basiclly anything can describe anyone, I think. I just needed good ideas... I understand what you mean though.

I'm attempting to get a scholarship (I guess you could call it that) to a private "Day School", and one requirement was, in fact an essay. I would like to ask you guys for some help, not too much, just sort of suggestions.
First of all I need to describe myself in one word. I could elaborate well, but I still need a word in itself. I'm not sure what exactly they would expect from me, but I don't want to just say "hard-working", or "smart". I'm open to suggestions, but I believe adaptable was a good describing word, and gave a positive outlook on myself. Please suggest, or tell me points I should make sure to hit.
Secondly, I have to imagine having a pen-pal in France, and I want to describe myself to them. I find this quite simple, but I want to make sure there aren't any points I might miss.
All help is appreciated, and I thank you for the suggestions.
