<p>i want to welcome anyone who'd like to read my essay that i am planning to submit to the Ivies.
i have a problem with the word limit: i need to cut about one or two sentences.</p>
<p>actually, i'd be willing to directly post it up here if it's too much of a hassle, since it's about my circumstances of upbringing, living in a fatherless household, which is pretty unique.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>anyone, please? originally, i wrote it for the columbia essay, but i'm wondering if i should redo it because people have told me it's kinda a sob story...='[</p>
<p>But perhaps, my endeavors are more than just another trite story about a typical immigrant; what further impacted my life, if less conspicuously, was growing up in a fatherless household. I never had a father figure who would take part in my athletics, play a game of catch, or shoot hoops with me. He was not there to praise my musical talent or guide my path in education. At As games, I would grow envious of the kids whose fathers had brought them, jealous of how they never had to experience my loneliness. Moreover, because of my single-mothers 40-plus hour work weeks, I am usually by myself in the apartment.</p>
<p>It sounds kind of like a sob story from the excerpt. If you want me to take a look at it, though, I will.</p>
