Narrative Essay On The SAT

Improved Essays
The SAT is responsible for one of my most problematic challenges in life.

Since the SAT test is of paramount importance in the college admissions process, I opted for another attempt in hopes of a higher score. My new score was a significant improvement in comparison to my previous score. This caught the attention of one of my closest friends. Highly impressed, he reached out to me for guidance. I unhesitatingly accepted his request.

I have known him since the early days of elementary school. We waited for the bus in the pouring rain together. When his grandmother passed away, I consoled him in his moments of grief. In intermediate school, I was bullied frequently, but he stood firmly by my side. His unforgettable grin was a burst of sunshine
