Thanks 😀 Is there a need of indentations, like tabs, or should I just leave a blank line between pargaraphs?

Yeah, this is what I did, and it worked well. A hard return is only 2 or 3 spaces, compared to 4 or 5 of a normal indent.
 
Edit for redundancy. We did this exercise in English class where they would give us a sentence and we would come up with a shorter sentence that had the same meaning.

Example:

In 1999, my first year of high school, I was on the soccer team.

or

I played soccer my freshman year of high school.


If you go through and look for ways to shorten without changing meaning, you will find them.
 
but all these things I see it says is the "preferred shorter sentence" sound so much more childlike and unimpressive. I'd almost rather focus on small segment of my life and write it in detail than to just casually mention a bunch of facts. What do you think of that?

What is the maximum number of words that are allowed/will fit? can someone give me an idea of how much (page wise) that entails?
 
I finally submitted it last night but now I have a new problem. I'm on hold for the lack one of the transcripts that I had sent in in June! I can't go back to my transcript requests forms now that I submitted. Can someone please post the address and info where we're supposed to submit. Thanks!
