Hello everyone. Please, help me to improve this essay: after month of editing it still looks slightly vague, especially at the beginning. Help me, and I will help you if you want to improve your essays.
I was thinking about the essay near week, and, on graduation, looking on my classmates who talked about their future, I abruptly understood what I can write about. It is, how my friend said about me, "frightening competence". My ability to plan and, as far as possible, to control my life according to my purpose eventually made me what I am. Of course, "time and chance happeneth to them all", but it is my understanding what should be done, and what should not, and intuitive sense of proper time to do proper things that is the reason for most of my successes. I have flaws and did mistakes that led to new mistakes and so on. Nevertheless, I always followed decisions I made without regards, and it helped me greatly. For example, I was only third by my points among 10th grade participants of the Ukrainian chemistry olympiad two years ago, and there were plenty of well-trained 11th grade participants. That is why doubts and uncertainty were haunting me during examinations to form a team for the international olympiad. But I found inner strength not to yield to these feelings, and, when the team was established, I was a part of it.
