Many things are temporary ---- toys, pencil markings… but sometimes it will also be people who are temporary in our lives. Sometimes it might feel like a slap on the wrist, and sometimes itʻll feel like falling into spiral of self doubt, anxiety, despondency, and anything else negative. The hardest part about it all is accepting that people will not always stay in our lives. Itʻs also challenging, because sometimes we have no idea who to turn to, what to say, what move to make next, mostly due to the fact that at this age, we havenʻt experienced this before. The worst when certain people leave, is feeling alone. Not knowing what to do, so you donʻt do anything, making it even harder to get through this chapter. Sometimes it feels like being blocked by a transparent wall. Not being able to connect with anything, and Almost anything and everything can be contradicted, including this situation. Even though it might hurt, there will always be good in the bad. The best part about being a teenager, is being able to accept these situations, and being able to really find ourselves from it. Finding out what makes us feel vulnerable, find out the kind of people we want to surround ourselves with. Although people may leave in our lives, this gives us an opportunity to really find out how to be independent, and how to deal with problems on our own. The way we react to a situation will always tell us a lot about ourselves. Just having that chance to just connect with ourselves, is good practice, especially because weʻll be going into adulthood soon. The truth is, everyone will come and go. Maybe for a short time, or maybe for a long time… But the most important thing would be to think of what the situation does for us instead of to us. With this mentality, we will always get to turn a negative experience into a learning one, and use our past knowledge and apply it for future reference.

I like how you talk about the prompt as a thought process and feeling as opposed to specific events, however i think you should include some personal events in your essay.Right now your essay doesn't sound personal enough. I think connecting the thoughts and feelings in your essay with events from your life and how it effected you will help personalize your essay. I also think you should expand the advice into its own paragraph.

NEED TO PUT THE COLLEGE AND PROMPT AT THE TOP SO I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT. YOU HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT LINES AND IDEAS. BUT NONE OF THEM ARE EXPLAINED ENOUGH. AND THERE ISNT ENOUGH IN HOW THIS RELATES TO YOU OR HOW THIS IS YOUR VIEW ON LIFE? I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR WAY OF THINKING/APPROACH IN LIFE. MS(3)

I feel that you did good for the writing part in the fact that you talked about how the temporary things in your life and how we get to look inside the inside of your thinking of how you think but I was a little confused on the prompt part I didn't see one

I thought the concepts explained throughout your essay were very well written. And as a teenager, I could relate to everything you wrote. So that's a good sign. I do feel that since you are a teen also, you could give some personal insight to assure that you know what you're talking about, and to really strengthen your essay. Overall, I thought you did really good!
