Is there any grammatical error in this post?
"Hi! I'm May. I'm 19 years old and I have something embarrassing to say: I did not read when I was still a child. Well, not altogether, actually, just not as much as you'd expect a student of a certain well-renowned university should.
"It pains me to think that, instead of burying myself in pages and pages of beautiful literature, I stared mindlessly at the mesmerizing box of radiation called the television. So now, having had the epiphany that maybe I should live up to the university's standards and that I missed out on A LOT and that I'm taking into consideration the option of ending my life because of this intellectual void, I'm trying to read as much and as fast as I can.
"But I fear this attempt at becoming as good as (or even surpass) my peers would end up in naught because literature had already ingrained in their young minds all the knowledge and wisdom it could give, and I CAN'T COMPETE WITH THAT. So...there. That's my case. I just hope you guys would prove me wrong. No, wait, I'M DESPERATE for you guys to convince me otherwise."
Someone said I didn't "have a grasp on grammar, paragraphs, and sentence structure." Please point out the mistakes I made. Thank you.
