Good evening.

Congratulations on returning to school. Here are my suggestions for your essay:

"For the last ten years of my life I have dedicate my time to helping others. I always go out of my way to make sure my family and friends succeed at what they want to accomplish, as time has passed I have realized that I have put my goals of going back to school aside. I did not finish school when I had a opportunity to do it. I made the choice of going to work to help my family out of necessity. I started working at a Dunkin Donuts and from there I have been working cleaning offices.When I was working I used to feel ashamed when other people would tell me, "For a young women you should not be doing this kind of job," but I kept my head up because I knew one day I would have the opportunity. To do what?
Throughtout all my accomplishmentments and dissapointments in my life, I have found out for myself that there will always be obstacles that will arise and I have to be able to fight these obstacle to reach my goal of going to college. I have two sons which I am so proud of. My young one has austism and this motivated me to work harder for them. I want them to be proud of me and to let them know how important it is for them to have an education because if I do not have it what kind of influece I will be for them? I do not want that for them, to struggle because they did not finish school. I want to be able to help them as they grow. I feel by getting my diploma I will show my sons and others it is never to late to finish school and to work hard and to perservere, you set a goal for yourself and everything can be achieved; it all depends on me."

Your content is good, but your mechanics need a little work. Remember that whenever you are referring to yourself the "I" is always capitalized, whether it is at the beginning of a sentence or not. Also just check your spelling and make sure you do not use casual contractions such as "can't" and "won't" in academic writing; always use the full word (i.e. "cannot," "would not"). Keep up all of your hard work and you will be very successful in school.
