And any review?I have written another one but help me check the one that meet the demand of the prompt.

iyabazar 1 / 7 1 Oct 1, 2014 #3The beginning is a little generic. I'm not a huge fan of the "from a tender age," beginning. Also it doesn't feel very genuine. Try to reach deep inside and go for a more emotional statement.This sentence also sounds a little awkward: From (a) tender age, I have wanted to hone my intellectual side to acquire in-depth competence in stream of engineering at an institution that will prepare me for a future in engineering but my family('s) low financial status is not making the goal a reality.What is in the parentheses is what I added.
