Read my Common App Essay?

Hello all, it's summertime, so naturally (as a rising senior), I want to get a jump on the college admissions process. I've completed a draft of my Common App essay and was hoping I could get some feedback from some of the wise elders of CC? Thanks!

Thanks, guys. I'm mostly interested in LACs like Oberlin, Macalester, Grinnell, Carleton, Whitman, and a few larger universities like USC and Emory.

I can't trust y'all with this! There could be snakes in the grass trying to steal my essay.
