My feedback:
Nice draft, Clemson. Some of your language is movingly poetic. As far as your narrative goes, this seems to be an essay about a couple different—although related—issues right now. There is your own experience of depression, which you introduce in the beginning. Then there is your experience of loss which takes place when two celebrities (or well-known people) who you care for take their own lives. I wonder if it’s possible to go back over the essay and do some re-writing so that it’s intentionally focused on one of these issues. If you choose to focus on your own experience of depression, you might want to include more details about how you found yourself feeling so down. I get that the losses of Chester and Etika have something to do with this, but you might want to consider other experiences you had that are relevant as well.
Thanks for this brave work about a very important topic.

As soon as you began your essay it hooked me, every sentence was very detailed as if you put in some emotion into it. it seemed so much like an poem, I like how you included events and had a huge description behind what was said. I think more can be added, do you think that depression took over your life?

I really liked your essay. It was mainly focused on an important topic and you made it very inspirational. I really liked the details you added and your use of repetition when you state, “is a day like all days you could do many things on that day. They’re people who were celebrating many different events, people going to school and work or just staying home.” I would suggest you expand on your personal impact with depression.
