Undergraduate / 'Enough Is As Good As A Feast' - Common App Essay-An Important Person, a student of mine [6]
Hi,
1. You have taken it well in the begining but some where in the second para i got lost.
You can start like:
"She was a young girl full of enthusiasm...so on and so forth. This was you are making the story intresting and projecting the qualities that made their mark on you.
2. A person who has left his/her mark in your life will be cherished life long. I gues you can get a situation into the essay that demonstartes your learnings from the child and how you are taking it forward long after she is gone...
3. I like the title of the essay...and it matches with the last para...but may be you can rethink of structuring the essay in a way the you start with the last and then tell your story...
e.g
Start with
"'Why are you so happy? I mean, don't you have to worry about your present hard condition?' I regretted asking her the moment I let out my questions, which seemed too hard and cruel for a 12-year-old girl to answer. But she just blinked her-full-of-hope-and-contentment eyes and said 'Well, maybe because everything is great enough for me already. You know, enough is as good as a feast.'
She was a girl full of entusiasm and her eyes full of hope and contentment...her name was ...who used to clean my dorm every day.
Hope you get what i mean!
all the best!
good luck with the essay.
