<p>Hi, so I'm writing my common app essay, and i chose to write about how i joined the cross country team as a freshman and how it has affected me through my senior year. I think it's a nice and simple essay, but I would really appreciate any feedback. Is anyone willing to give it a quick read? Thanks!</p>
<p>I think it’s better if you ask someone who’s close to you. 
If I were you I would ask my English teacher for help! :)</p>
<p>The people who actually read my essays at colleges wont know me either! I will be getting help from my English teacher, but i think its good to have someone who doesn’t know me at all read my essay as well, because that is what it’s going to be with the colleges :)</p>
<p>Anyone want to read it?</p>
<p>Sure, I will read it. I’m also editing my essay. PM me yours. Also, it would be nice if you could proofread my essay too (but you don’t have to).</p>
<p>And trulyyours has good advice.</p>
