The notification popped up, a cheerful little bubble on her phone. “Congratulations! Your essay is an example!” Sarah almost dropped her phone. Her palms began to sweat. Her essay, the one about the summer she spent volunteering at the animal shelter, was now…public.

She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She sat down hard on the edge of her bed. Her stomach churned. It was like someone had reached into her soul and pulled out a piece of her, displayed it for everyone to examine.

Her breathing hitched. She thought of the typos, the clumsy phrasing she had agonized over. The college's website, with her words plastered across it. She felt a burning sensation in her eyes and clenched her teeth to stop the tears.
