official essay HELP

<p>Omg
please
so today i wrote the essay without reading the long freaking quote. I only read the essay prompt (actually the first sentence)
then i began to furiously write without reading the prompt.
Did i go off topic then? Do i only need to read the first sentence of the prompt and not the quote? Somebody told me that the quote is always essential.</p>

<p>Omg i cant breathe right now. I cant get a 0 on the essay or my future would be ruined. I cant breathe. AHHHHHHH</p>

<p>It’s fine. The quote usually gives you ideas for the question. But as long as you answer the question, you stayed on topic.</p>
