should i start over?

<p>i wrote a personal essay for my english class last year (junior year), and i'm thinking about fixing it up a bit for college apps. my teacher didn't give very extensive feedback, so if any of you could help, that'd be amazing.</p>

<p>obviously, i'll have to condense it, so tell me which parts you think i should/shouldn't keep. and also, please tell me if anything sounds too cheesy. i sometimes border on the melodramatic.</p>

<p>PM me!</p>

<p>please help? anyone? i need some harsh criticism. ie harsher than my friends.</p>

<p>I can help you. I am class of '08, though.</p>

<p>hi blindkite. i don't have a problem with that. if you need me to return the favor, i can read essays as well. thanks. i'll PM you the essay.</p>

<p>I'm class of 08 as well, but'd be glad to look it over if you'd like.</p>
