Jenn's feedback:
"Starting your essay with the title you chose and providing an explanation of why draws the reader into your story. You go into great detail about each part of your life that you feel was a result of aspiration, which is also compelling. Consider making an effort to relate every life event you talk about to aspiration. You do this well in the paragraphs towards the beginning of the essay and towards the end, but the effort to make the relationship clear seems to be missing in the middle. There are a significant number of grammar and sentence structure errors that detract from the potential power of the essay. Make sure to resolve these through a round of proofreading. There are also a couple of places in the essay where thoughts do not seem complete. The most noticeable example is when you discuss being ranked fourth. It is not clear what the ranking is related to. What category were you ranked fourth in?"
