My Early Life

Growing up in different parts of the world has given me a glimpse of what its like to live in other areas. Living in Kenya showed me the state of immense poverty that the people are forced to live in. I experienced their way of life, and how they have to fight to survive each and every day. While living in Virginia, I was exposed to a different type of world. Everything was easier, slowed down, and less stressful. The availability of everything was overwhelming in that there were grocery stores and gas stations everywhere. Once I moved to Connecticut, my life experienced yet another twist. I went to school, made new friends, learned to adapt to the faced-paced life lived by New Englanders. These different times of my life have left a lasting impact on who I am today and how i view the world and our society.


This essay is about my early life and all of the many changes and hardships that I have witnessed and had to go through. As the essay goes along, it will delve more into the specific events and trials that have shaped me into the person that I am today. I have a feeling that i put too much into the actual intro and that i should save more the the actual essay. I need to conserve on the space, seeing as I only have 500 words to work with. I need to condense everything down.

This is a very good intro. It made me want to read more becasue it was very descriptive and interesting. It will lead into your paper very well becasue you give a breif but descripitve examples about each place that you have lived in. It is also good because as the reader,I knew what you were going to be talking about in your whole essay.
