<p>Oops, I didn’t post the right link. “This is a copy of an essay that was written by Hugh Gallagher. The urban myth is that is that it was submitted by him for consideration in admission to NYU. The truth is, that this essay earned Mr. Gallagher first place in Scholastic Inc.'s high school writing contest in 1990.”</p>

<p>EDIT: HOWEVER, apparently that it was an urban legend, was itself an urban legend: <a href=“University of York”>http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/joke/essay.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Gallagher says he did send it to colleges.</p>
