<p>Hey- I was close. This isn’t his college essay (yet); just an English class essay, plastered over 4 different forums here. If this is being considered for your college app. essay Quarterstop, a suggestioon, since you’re not from Ga. I’d suggest a different college to aspire to-- Quite unlikely a kid from smalltown Ga would aspire to go to Brown. A very odd fit. The admissions director at Columbia is truly from a small town in S. Ga. (He said he moved to NY to correct an error at birth). Maybe your fictional character might aspire to go to Columbia. And you might want this kid to have performed poorly academically at UGA rather than GSU. It does take talent for a student who thought they had a shot at the Ivy’s to do a lackluster job at GSU.</p>
