Need help on a college application

Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC.

I essentially first wrote about how I love chemistry. I moved onto how more than anything, I want to be a science teacher. From there, I talked about how the diversity of students at USC will always keep me open minded to others and how the large number of students there will always give me room to help others / tutor and stuff (around 170 words).

Is this a good angle for this prompt (I already finished the short answer, but I want a confirmation or a rejection of how I approached it / if I approached it correctly)?
I was having a hard time figuring out if my approach to the "how I plan to pursue" part was right

Thanks
 
easy....just tell them that you plan to pursue the hard knocks way. Sex, blow, an beer. Stress how you will be very open in filling your curiosity of the hard knocks way by even combining 2 of the three with weed. Oh, and 2 girls at one time.

Or

Just tell them that you will use the cirriculum (which should be huge) to the best of your ability.

I would also make sure to have a video handy referencing the 2 girls aspect.

Would listing out what classes you plan to take help? It sounds like they want to make sure you have direction in life and are not just going there to waste their time and yours.

I heard from some application-reader speakers that they find it great when the applicant lists out specific classes / teachers they want to take / be with. The thing is that it sounds so fake to state like "I want to be in Chemistry 101 with Mr. Smith because I read that he's great, blah blah."

I made my short answers heartfelft, but I don't know if they want heartfelt (maybe it's only for the personal statement). Do they want dry information such as specific courses?
