Preferably no 09 applicants. Just for safety, not pointing any fingers

Much thanks in advance,

PM me if ur willing to read.

My possible mistakes on essay:
-Too much storyline
-Grammar definetly
-Didnt fully asnwer prompt (didnt address intercultural understanding or social responsibility)
-Crappy organization
-Essay not focused, seems to be reaching everywhere.

Harsh and BRUTAL criticism NEEDED. please be as blunt as possible

I don't believe this site has PMs. If you want feedback, you'll have to post your essay here.

"I could not help want(ing) a slice of every cake (no pun intended). "
"I actively participated in (my school's?) Interact Rotary Service Club." You may want to introduce where you learned of this club and if it's from your school.

hey are u sure about the "wanting". it sounds kind of awkward

and i changed it to "Witnessing my aunt's generosity and the worker's gratefulness, I actively participated in my school's community service club, Interact Rotary Service Club."

thoughts? ocmments?

"I could not help want a slice of"
You can either put it as:
"I could not help but to want a slice of"
or
"I could not help wanting a slice of"
Verb form in the original does not agree :)

The workers that my aunt hired were always interesting, because my aunt hired workers based on their needs, rather than their resumes. Every worker I met had his own interesting story to tell about why he was in America working at the bakery. The store was filled with unique perspectives, including those of a Venezuelan teacher, a Cambodian doctor, a Mexican songwriter, and a Korean attorney. Every worker at the bakery told me about his profession, and as a curious and open child, I could not help want a slice of every cake (no pun intended).

They gave me a thirst for knowledge in every aspect, because the worker's backgrounds and professions were explained so vividly.

I was further affected by these humble workers from the bakery because I saw the gratefulness each one had for my aunt. Because they could not practice their professions in the United States, where their licenses were not valid, they each held a large amount of respect for my aunt who would easily take a stranger in.

Whether I want to become a teacher, a doctor, a songwriter, or an attorney, I know that Pitzer's renowned liberal arts program would create the perfect foundation for whichever career path I choose.

Cute last sentence:)

Good luck!
