Everyone should have at least one educated adult read their essay carefully before it is sent. There may be grammatical errors that you may have missed, and they may identify points that do not come across the way you had intended. Any attempt at humor definitely needs a second opinion, to make sure it is not horribly misinterpreted.

My point was to avoid letting someone pressure you into changing your essay into something that does not show your personality.
