Have you ever blamed yourself for a specific situation? While growing up with my mother, who is a single parent of two. I always blamed myself for my mom and dad’s separation.

For example, I selected a sentence from my second essay that shows one of my weaknesses, “It’s not how the person’s body image looks like or how much they weigh.” Misusing pronouns is the common mistake I make frequently.
