<p>Yeah, that’s why I try not to post essays and stuff. Call me paranoid. </p>
<p>It is a pretty long-ass essay, and for the common app this year the limit was 500 words. I went ahead and did 700, cause it fit on a single page. If this is for the common app, you will need to read it again, preferably out loud, and see what you can do without, and chop it off. I think you’re a bit too detail heavy with locations. Just saying “northern Texas” or “Petrolia” would cut off a bit of space.
