<p>I have writte an essays for the common app, which people are finding “too heavy” 
I am from Bangladesh (Asia).</p>
<p>Important background essay: I went to pick up my younger brother’s school report to find out he had done poorly in maths. I was explaining fractions to him near the front gate when another boy answered the sum the question correctly. He was not a student, but worked odd jobs at the school. Interested, I asked him more questions to find out he was very sharp minded but had discontinued studies after the 3rd grade to help his family.At the time I was depressed because I was not able to afford the tuition fees at a private medical school I had gotten accepted to. I thought that was the end of my dreams, and basically the end of my life, since I had so single minded-ly concentrated on studying medicine. But on seeing him I realized that at least I had the opportunity to study and probably have (harder and longer maybe) more opportunities to study medicine. Basically at least I was lucky enough to be able to help myself, whereas he wasn’t.</p>
<p>So this taught me to see the bright side of basically every situation, because I would count the opportunities I had instead of the ones I didn’t get. And it also taught me to make the best out every situation to respect the people over whom I got it. </p>
<p>I am sponsoring Hossain’s (the boy) complete education at Jaago Foundation for 40 US dollars per month (which I easily earn through private tuitions).</p>
<p>So should I scrap this essay and write something more light and easy to read? Does it concentrate more on Hossain than me?</p>
