In addition: Your essay is not nearly specific enough. Another student could easily substitute the name of his or her favorite math teacher for Mrs. Archer and submit this essay as their own. In a well crafted personal essay, the details of a story should be so specific and personal, that the essay wouldn’t make sense if the names were just switched.

Most students have some quirky story that they are embarrassed to tell someone about themselves because it’s tooooooo personal – and that’s what students need to write about – something so specific that only you could write it.
