Beth's feedback:

"This is a very compelling personal narrative. You clearly lay out the struggles you faced and overcame in your journey to getting your GED and eventual acceptance to a college program. I recommend proofreading/editing this essay before final submission, as there are a few spelling and usage errors, but not many. Additionally, if you are going to cite facts in your essay, I recommend listing the references where you got those facts. (For instance, where did you get the numbers for the high school dropout and GED test failure rates?)"
