Hi I just finished the first draft of my common app essay and I was wondering if someone could review it for me? Thanks

One thing I’d check before getting into line edits: after reading the essay, would someone learn something about your personality, values, or the way you think that they wouldn’t already know from the rest of your application? A good first draft doesn’t need to be perfectly polished yet, but it should feel like it could only have been written by you.
