Have I answered the essay prompts thoroughly enough?!

<p>I have a terrible habit of trying to be ~clever and twist prompts into something that stands out but /just/ answers the prompt enough. This has earned me some high scoring essays in my English classes, but isn't something I'm willing to risk on my apps.
I realized I had accidentally done this with my essays (oops) and started rewriting them again last night (oops again).</p>

<p>Anyone willing to read over my essays and give me their thoughts? Especially on whether you think I picked a sufficient topic and if I've answered the prompts...? </p>
