Would anyone care to critique my perspective essay?

<p>I will be applying to Rice as a transfer student for the fall semester. I am about 95% finished with the supplement perspective essay. I just need to write a conclusion paragraphy, but I have been hit with a bout of writers block. Hopefully, I can come up with something before the 15th! </p>

<p>I was in the military for five years so it is a fairly interesting read. Would anyone care to critique it for me?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t mind providing a critique, if you don’t mind that fact that I am also applying as a fall transfer student. (I have already completed and submitted my app and supplement though)</p>

<p>I’ll do it - my son applied as a freshman. I’m very picky with the grammar but not so competent on flow. PM it to me if you want.</p>

<p>I applied for freshman acceptance a few months ago. I’m usually pretty interested in a person’s life story, and a pretty decent essay-writer IMO. PM if you like!</p>
