It would really help us figure out where the essay should be directed towards if you provided us with the statement prompt. It is difficult to advise you regarding the content and theme of your essay without knowing that. Personally, I also prefer to correct any grammar and sentence structure issues after the them of the essay has been perfected. So it would be great if you could upload that information as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will try to create a general review of the essay for you and make comments where I think it is possible to do so without affecting the original prompt.
On a gloomy April evening in South Louisiana I lounged on my tiny, toddler recliner. I studied the rain drops parading from the sky. I watched as they flooded the cane fields surrounding my house. I could hear nothing but the water droplets beating against my roof, as all of my family members were napping in the dreary weather--a common habit of people in my area.

Success is defined by getting married and working at a stable company. I refused to be satisfied with living in this dreamless fashion, one which could not accommodate my insatiable desire for learning and growth. It was not until my sophomore year in high school that I realized how feasible change could be for me.
- What was propelling this sense in you? What were your dreams and aspirations that were being held back by where you lived and your station in life?On my first day of tenth grade, I entered Mr. Delcambre's English class unaware of what to expect. I was immediately intimidated, yet intrigued, by his knowledge. Mr. Delcambre immensely enjoyed challenging his students. I was constantly pushed in his class intellectually, physically, and emotionally. I began to realize that success occurs when hard work meets opportunity. I started thinking about my vocational path and how vital it was that I begin living and working to achieve those goals .
- This is only relevant to incoming freshman applications. You are a transferring student. Go directly to the story of your grandmother and how hope to continue your medical education at this new university.If this is supposed to be a transfer essay, you did not write it properly. You need to state reasons for your decision to switch schools. Explain how you feel the new university will help you better achieve your dream of becoming a doctor and how you hope to achieve that through their tutelage.Right now, I know a lot about you and your grandmother but nothing about your desire to transfer to another university. The reasons for that remain unclear.Clarify those points and your essay will be better off for it. I will present more comments after I read the prompt.
