MissBarbara: There is a thread on here about college essays by people who handed theirs in and went back and read what they had written and were mortified. I think this happened 'cause they finished the essays at close to the last minute. The best way to make sure you write something well is to write it to the point you think its done and then put it away for a month or two and forget about it. Then come back and read it with a set of fresh eyes. I have done this and there are times when I have thought “oh my god, this is devastatingly awful” and other times 180 degrees the opposite. You will be able to do something like this with your early start. Go for it.
