Essays:
I’m trying not to overestimate myself in essays but I’ve put in a lot of time and effort into them. Especially supplements. I don’t think I could’ve written them any better than I did. I wrote my commonapp about the difficulties I’ve had to overcome to become a singer since I have a severe stutter.
Although I’m middle-class, I’ve gone through some family-related adversity, which I mentioned in some of my essays.
