I was accepted at a nice high school, but I still need to write an essay. I am completely lost, stressed out, and near tears.

I need to write an essay that follows this:


1) An understanding of [high school's] programs and expectations for student performance including (A) academic goals (B) what [high school] offers that will help you achieve your goals (C) your commitment to achieve your goals; (2) why you will succeed in this program

WHAT??? Does (A) refer to the school's expectations of my academic goals? Or does it refer to my personal goals? (B) and (C) are fine with me and I kind of understand them.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Can anyone provide me with a basic outline I can follow? Thanks!

Steven (I missed the 'v' in my username, whoops!)

(It may seem that I am demanding too much, but this is kind of urgent, I've to submit it on tomorrow!)

it seems to me you are being asked to state your purpose for doing what you are doing. were i in your shoes i'd come to my senses and withdraw my application.
