<p>I finished writing my essay, but it's around 100 words over the limit for Common App. I've already tried to edit it and shorten some parts but I feel like every part is so important. So can someone read it and help me cut it down? Please feel free to include any comments or advice you have on it. If you're willing to help, please post here or PM me. Thank you very much!!!</p>
<p>I can help. </p>
