IS this intro about Page 87 of your autobiography to strong and risky? [4]
I am applying to VCU and I am a little skeptical about using this introduction paragraph because I personally feel this is a little strong for the reader and it could become a turn off. I don't want to risk myself from getting rejected from this school because of my essay. So please give me feedback about this and let me know if I should keep it, revise it a little, or just trash it?
Prompt: Compose Page 87 of your autobiography. In this essay, you should be creative, considering where your life story would be at this point.
My Stomach quivers as I clench my jaw shut from regurgitation. The smell came off strong with a disturbing odor that I never smelled before. "Okay Cooper, go get the evidence kit and dust for prints around the broken window. I'll be here with the body waiting for the coroner's arrival." I glance up at the chief from the corner of my eye, I simply obliged his orders with a curt nod of the head and a "Sure thing, boss" response. I wince inwardly as I pass the lifeless body lying on the floor. "Such a shame, another victim of a heinous crime." I look up to see who said that, "The names Carl." I reach out to shake his hand "Kourtney, Nice to meet you Carl." I bend down to open up my kit and begin to put on my gloves. "So tell me about your self kid, where did you study?" I begin to take the cellophane tape, bristle brush and powder out of kit to begin my assignment. "Well I receive my degree at Virginia Commonwealth University in Criminal Justice: Crime Scene Investigation." I begin to sprinkle the powder over the ledge carefully to avoid contamination of any potential evidence I'm looking for. "Oh I see we have a smart one on our hands, I've seen some of the best coming out of that school. If your anything like what I've seen kid, you have one bright future." I look up to Carl "Oh Sir I am much more than that, I've study under the best by receiving the utmost superior education by nationally renown leaders in the field." I turn back to focus on my job, as my mind drifts off to my first memory of VCU. It all started when I received a big white envelope in the mail with the college's acronym posted on the top left corner.
