Wow! What a touching essay! I enjoyed the read. I took out some smaller words to help you shorten without loosing the passion and thoughtfulness of it. What helps in shortening essays is taking out the smaller words, and replace those few small words with a synonym or longer/larger word.

This is a good essay, but I'm not sure about the closing line. Use the quote and then tie it back to your life. Don't let the quote be your last sentence. Otherwise, good job!
