Essay Excerpt 

“I believe that to go from being an amateur golfer to becoming a professional golfer and making money, you should be a legal adult at the age of 18. Three reasons for the age to be 18 are that you’re  a legal adult, you’re old enough to live on your own and you’re old enough to vote or be drafted. If you are old enough for these three things, I believe you’re old enough to play professional golf and collect money.”
