<p>My dear CCers, I have a wonderful, loving mother who insists that everything I write is lovely--cheering, but hardly constructive. I'm sure some of you can relate. I need to hear the cold, hard truth. I have three essays to present for your enjoyment:</p>
<p>Common App: A Recommendation letter by my laptop, Sophie</p>
<p>Pomona-What you do for fun: My tradition of library visits after every SAT/AP test</p>
<p>Brown/Yale-Something more about you: A description of my cowboy boots and how they symbolize my unique education as a home-schooled student</p>
<p>Select, read, and destroy... I will gladly reciprocate.</p>
