Addendum... Please critique!

Post by irenic » Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:34 pm

Submitting app today for early decision. Please let me know if this addendum is alright. Thanks so much in advance for the help!

On August 26th, 2006 I was ticketed for a Minor In Possession of Alcohol as a senior in high school. Police officers discovered alcohol at a house I was at and gave each person a Minor in Possession of Alcohol for being on the property where the alcohol was located. I take full responsibility for breaking the law. I was granted deferred adjudication and successfully completed the community service and alcohol awareness classes as required. My actions that evening were an isolated incident and I have not had any non traffic law violations since. I am currently in the process of getting the offense expunged. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information about this matter.

sounds good.

maybe edit the part about non traffic inciidents to something that flows better. It would work though.

Thanks, how about this in two sentences instead:

My actions that evening were an isolated incident. I have had no non traffic law violations since.

There have not been any other incidents since this isolated case.

or something like that
