Undergraduate / I qualified for the DECA International Career Development Conference in Atlanta - transition essay [3]
Hello, I can help you with any needed changes. I was really immersed in reading the opening paragraph. However, I will try to give constructive feedback.
The first paragraph, you could change one sentence. Begin this sentence with, "At only fifteen years old,..." Then you discuss a battle of analysis and confidence in this sentence. I think you should explain it better. It builds the reader's anticipation but you could be more specific. Ex: "fight the battle of analysis and confidently assess numbers" This may not accurately describe what you did during the competition, but it tells the reader that an analysis and numbers were involved. This type of description is missing.
The second paragraph, when you describe your fears you should state: "seize control of them" Change this sentence: "The idea that I was on my way to becoming independent, was a reality that I wanted to savor." The next sentence, change it to: I developeda sense of responsibility of how the ability to balance my time for the demanding competition, basic necessities, and communicate with peers. , and sleep. I think competition and communication make the sentence easier to understand. You could be more specific by explaining what the competition was. Was it academic competition?
The third paragraph, use italics when you name the books. Ex: One up on Wall Street and Beating the Street. When you discuss what you learned about finance, you could use "such as helping a middle class family" rather than whether it be helping a middle class family.
The last paragraph, I am going to suggest some slight changes: "As I reflect on that time during my high school career, I think that many maychild at some point, has to leave have left the things they know and ventured out into the unknown." Change these sentences to: "After this event, I was able to focus on my passion. I started..." The last sentence change become to becoming.
