<p>Hi guys, I just start writing my college essay and want to make sure that I am on the right track.</p>
<p>My plan is to write about mistakes that i made at my early age (such as I didn't care about my future, school... stuff like that), then gonna talk about what I learned through school, friends and people around me that changed my thought and transformed me to the person I am right now.</p>
<p>My introductory paragraph looks very negative, and my friend told me that I shouldn't do that. So I am kinda confused now, should i stick with what I'm doing?</p>
<p>(I'm not fluent in English, please excuse me if I made any mistake)</p>
