Wondering if some mild language (damn, crap, etc) might put me at a disadvantage in your judging of my essay? If so, no problem, not going to cramp my style.
I'm a senior at an NY City public high school, will graduate with an AA in Liberal Arts.
Edit: Actually scratch that. No mild language in my essay after all... But can the essay be about 700 words instead of 500? I kinda overshot. I promise it's not boring, but if you *must* have it shorter I can try to cut it down (not sure how well that'll turn out).
