Chicago essay

<p>The essay I chose to write about is:</p>

<p>Chicago author Nelson Algren said, “A writer does well if in his whole life he can tell the story of one street.” Chicagoans, but not just Chicagoans, have always found something instructive, and pleasing, and profound in the stories of their block, of Main Street, of Highway 61, of a farm lane, of the Celestial Highway. Tell us the story of a street, path, road—real or imagined or metaphorical.</p>

<p>I started writing about the path i’ve taken in the past two years with my mom’s sickness and death
and i was just wondering if you think that may be too common, could you give me any tips about what to include in my essay to get me into this school since my test scores are not up to par</p>

<p>Absolutely not!!! I am first of all very sorry for your loss. As long as the essay shows your growth as an individual you will be all set. Good luck.</p>
