<p>Hi! I have to write a 500 word essay for the National Merit Finalist application and so far, this is it.
It's 494 words right now, and it's about my camper this summer. I sent it to two friends, and both immediately said, "I like it, but when you edit it..." (I guess great minds think alike). So I did edit it, and now I want an outsider's opinion- what do you think?
I'm also planning on reusing the concept to write some of my other essays, but this is my main one for this topic as of now.
No criticism too harsh! </p>
<p>ETA: Actually, I don't think that I'll post the whole thing online- not really the best idea when I think about it. Please PM me if you have any feedback! I'd love to hear from you- and I'd love to give feedback on yours!</p>
