Hey, thanks for reading mine - I really appreciate it :)

I generally like this Why essay. However, I wonder if the first paragraph is really necessary. It leads into the second paragraph well, but may be sort of superfluous (unless the school really prides itself on being recognized for this). What I would prefer (personally) is maybe cutting the first paragraph or condensing it into a sentence as a lead for the second paragraph, and providing some concrete support for your claims in the second. When you said "I believe" in the last sentence, I reflexively thought "Why?". Then again, it's about 6am where I am now, so my reading comprehension isn't the greatest.

HTH! :)
