<p>The essay was due last night, so I have no problem sharing it. Please if any of you would be generous enough to read it over and give me your insight I would be so grateful. I always doubt my writing after I finish it, so I would like to get some outside opinions. Just post here if you would be willing to read it and I can PM it to you.</p>
<p>Here is the prompt:</p>
<p>In his novel, Let the Great World Spin, Colum McCann writes: </p>
<p>"We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the faintest imprint of what it really was, what it meant." </p>
<p>Tell us about something you heard or experienced for the first time and how the years since have affected your perception of that moment.</p>
<p>It had a word limit of 400 words, and I only wrote about 330 so I promise it's not super long and won't take up to much of your time!</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
