Any non-'09ers willing to read my essay?

<p>I've written a draft for my common application essay, and I'm hoping someone (a non-'09ers with a high post count, please) will read it. I don't need grammatical help at this stage - I just need someone to read it through and tell me if it flows and if I've stuck to the main idea throughout AND if this is what colleges expect. I'm an international student, so it's a little tough to figure out what's right and what isn't.</p>

<p>Thank you ahead of time!</p>

<p>Same here if someone would so kindly volunteer their time :)</p>

<p>^ I'm a current junior, and I'm off for 2 weeks for winter break. So, I'll have plenty of time. Send if you wish! (Btw, I suggest you look at the Consolidated list of essay reader Thread on the top of the forum)</p>
