I am struggling to finish my ApplyTexas topic A essay about how my parents divorce has impacted me. Would anyone be willing to read it? I really don’t know where it is going, I might have to scrap it and think of another topic. Thanks!
PLEASE send your essay only to adults with established posting histories. Otherwise, with all due respect to the previous poster, you run the risk of having your essay plagiarized.
There are people to whom you can send your essay-- I’m not one of them this time of year, but there are others like me here: adults who have been around a while. If you click on my name and check my threads, you’ll see that I’m a math teacher, I have 3 teenage kids and a husband. And that my 17 year old daughter hit “submit” in mid October. So I would have absolutely nothing to gain by stealing your essay. Again, there are others like me. Check the thread on the top of this forum; there’s a link to a list of people willing to read your essays. Check their credentials.
But it’s December. I would get the essay finished ASAP. And your English teacher or guidance counselor might be a better bet at this point.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: As @bjkmom stated, ONLY send your essay to adults with established posting histories!
Isn’t there some aspect of your personality that can give admissions officers a better idea of who you are? Please read the pinned post on this forum called Essay Tips to Consider. It’s late in the game to be writing your essay, and maybe you don’t want to change topics. I get it, so focus the essay instead on how the divorce helped you grow in a positive way. You are selling yourself to a college, so positivity is important.
Personally, my parents divorced, but that has nothing to with why I want to major in Political Science. Really assess your passions and why that means something to your character and academics, don’t make it a sob story.
