<p>if you wrote about something personal, like how you failed at something a bunch of times before finally succeeding, would you let people like teachers and guidance counselors critique it? because i'm thinking about how i'm going to write my essay and i'm not sure if i'm really going to want other people to look at it.</p>
<p>so basically i'm asking did you have anybody look over your essay after you finished? if so, who?</p>
