<p>Alright… so I realized that my previous essay was actually pretty mediocre, even though I thought it was all set. I ended up rewriting it, using the same topic of my high school life but approaching it dramatically differently. Anyway, I think that this essay is much better, at least for an relatively early revision… it’s very personal and much more genuine than my previous essay.</p>

<p>I have some concerns, though, about it potentially at the same time being too generic (as everyone has high school troubles?) It also covers basically three years in 700 words, so it seems potentially too unfocused. And even then, I’m concerned that 700 words is too long.</p>

<p>So, anyone want to take a look at it? I’m very busy, but I may have time to return the favor. If you’re extra generous, you could look at my previous essay and compare them.</p>
