Common App Essay

Does someone here, specifically an adult who is familiar with the college application process, want to take a look at my Common App Essay? Both my English teacher and Guidance Counselor have looked at it and I’ve gotten conflicting feedback. I don’t want you to edit it or grammar-check it. I just want some overall feedback.

Thanks!

I"m so sorry, but I’m totally swamped right now. I was at work till 10 last night, tonight is 9.

Things will calm down in a few weeks, but I’m hanging on by my toenails these first few weeks of the school year.

Bump?
