<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I would very much appreciate it if you'd read my essay and be completely honest and critical about it. I'm not too defensive and I don't get my feelings hurt from constructive criticism! Plus it's anonymous so I won't be able to track you down and kill you.</p>
<p>It's for the common app and the prompt is talk about an influential experience in your life. It's my first draft and it ran a little longer than I would have hoped so I'm open to suggestions about what to cut. And I'm not entirely sure if this is the topic I'll use in my final essay because maybe it's a common one? And there are just so many different things that happened in my life that I could write about.</p>
<p>Okay, I'm going to stop talking. I'll PM it to you if you want to read it</p>
