Will somebody use my essay?

Hello.
I was just wondering if somebody can use my essay for their college admission since I posted it on this website to be revised. I hope nobody would do that since I worked very hard on it.
Thanks!

Even if somebody tries to use it, they cannot fake your name and school name that is included in your profile (that's why we urge all members to provide their REAL name and school name in their profiles).

So even if "James Smith" copies your essay and submits as his own, his teacher is most likely to notice "James Smith" was not the author's name which means he was not the author of the essay.

Okay thank you. That makes sense, but I guess if someone just sent it to a college or printed it, the teacher/college wouldn't know unless he/she checked online.

Good afternoon :)

There is never a guarantee when you post any type of material online that it won't be used for unauthorized purposes; that is the risk you take when placing your material online. The best way to protect yourself if you choose to post information, is to make sure to use your real information when posting. Many colleges (not all) do check for plagiarism using online resources, thus, they would be checking it electronically.

As long as your correct contact information is included in your member profile, you should be fine.
