Undergraduate / Fright of the unknown took over me; Admission Essay [5]
"I had never taken advantage of attending a school, which I now recognize, provided me with resources that would prepare for a successful future." Your wording here is awkward. I think you could shorten it, and take out some extra words. You don't need to say "a school" . Little things like that can make your essay sound a whole lot more smooth.
"Never before had I been placed in an environment, where I was unaware of whom my peers were." Maybe you could simply say "Never before had I been placed in an unfamiliar environment." It implies you do not know anyone and lessens your word count.
"The only encouragement I was able to obtain during that moment, was the image of my mother struggling to maintain the family's business afloat." You could change it to "The only encouragement keeping me afloat was the image of my mother struggling to maintain the family business."
I like your essay. I just think there are some simple things you could reword. Less is more sometimes. Good Luck!
