So, this essay I’ve managed to write in about a hour, its probably not good, like at all. But, I’m not sure how to fix it can you help?
Yes I’m aware that this is epIs0dE ForUMs but most of you guys are avid writers and can assist, no it aint cheating but its like peer editing right?
Uh well here we go…I’ve replaced the organization with this “…”

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your essay for?
Ah, I was in National Junior Honors Society too!
I’m editing this cuz it won’t let me post anymore lol
For NYC they have us maintain 95 or above averages, we need 12-24 community service hours and a whole bunch of recommendations
The struggle is real
Well I’m sure you’ll get in and good luck!
You’re a great writer btw, don’t even doubt it!!
Also I’m a freshman, and I’m just saying, your writing style is far more sophisticated then most people
in highschool
I’m in grade 12, I just got an essay back, and it was all R’s. It’s no secret I’m not able to write essays, so this was no surprise (the highest mark I ever got on an essay was a 2-).
I think its safe to say that English class sucks!
I kept a straight 80 in 7th grade English, but then I got involved the Forum Role play community and surprisingly it helped my writing skills a lot but, apparently that wasn’t enough as I became that kid who had all honors classes except for English.
I would try to elaborate on this particular experience. If you’re going to say that you have an ability to adapt to change, then you should be able to offer more support for that statement instead of briefly touching on two things that you had to adjust to.
Also, you can swap out some words with synonyms instead of repeating them throughout the essay. For example, change one of your “exceptionals” to excellent and vary/varying to numerous/several.
Other than that, this is a good paper. Based on your writing, I would’ve never known you were only in 8th grade if you hadn’t mentioned it!
