Writing a college essayis a very delicate process. Its the writer's chance to attempt and sell themselves to a University or College, it's telling them why they should invest in you. To top it off you have to do this in a short amount of length, which means every word ccounts, every coma, every period makes a difference. I think it's very exciting, and I think to think of it otherwise can be paralyzing to the mind. You have to look at it as a chance to attempt and win people over, to tell a whole room of people why you are so great. I think that's really cool. The only problem is you only get to write one (for that college/university), and then thats it. Once you submit it its the ball is in their court. Will they submit you? If you don't submit yourself, why should they?
