Read a Writer and STANFORD prospect Writing *sort of* about Writing

Well, I just finished my main CommonApp essay. It's kind of about writing, kind of not, but it is very personal. Now I need input and criticism. Post if you're willing to read it and provide feedback, I can e-mail or PM it to you.

I, too, am a writer. I can't seem to write my Common App essay, though. >.< But I'd be happy to take a look at yours.

Any college students or adults willing to read it? Sorry fellow 09ers, I just dont feel comfortable anonymously giving you my essay.

If it makes it enticing, I'm an top income bracket white male writing a "unique perspective/diversity" category essay.

Chaucer: You can send it to me for a critique if you would like. I am a parent of a current Stanford student. But I also have an '09 child (who is a science/math kid).
