GW:

Let me be blunt.

For a college student who aspires to be SF, your spelling and grammar skills are atrocious.

This is not grammar.com, but it hurts my head to read your posts, and you are coming across as much younger and less educated than you claim to be.

First impressions are lasting ones, and if that is the way you communicate with others in writing, I would seriously question your basic skills and education. You might look at what attributes I mentioned in my post above. This sort of laziness gets people non-selected, or in the worst case, killed.

This isn't myspace, facebook, a text message, or military.com. If you expect others to take time to reply to your personal reqests for assistance, you should be willing to take the time to use a spell-checker or a dictionary.

Best of luck.
