<p>Please read my essay and give me positive and NEGATIVE feedback, I need major help. My dean said my essay was crap, over the top--too risky, and sounded fictitious. My English teacher (former college admissions officer) and my school psychologist said the essay was an excellent choice, took risk, was honest and reveled my bad side but showed triumph and recovery.</p>
<p>I'm confused and really don't want to waste money on some college essay service that changes the voice entirely. I just need some feedback.</p>
<p>My essay topic is on my past substance abuse problem and how depressed and isolated it made my life, how i overcame that problem--the uphill struggle---how I'm now a stronger and more wiser person than before.</p>
<p>it's either this topic or why i aspire to pursue my creativity in art and film. </p>
<p>Any help or comment would be really appreciated.</p>
<p>p.s The topic was intended to fulfill the common app topic, A major life changing dilemma</p>
