Essay & Composition Writing

Please Edit This, Thank You.

I was supposed to write two paragraphs summarizing a time when I felt that I was treated injustly. Providing the following informaiton

-The 5 W's
-A multi-step process to seek justice

-Resource(s), if any, avaiable to help me gain justice.

It was not such a serious assignment but I tend to get wordy. And my English kinda' sucks to please help me edit this. I'll be grateful if you take your time. The story is made-up, this never happened, so if it doesn't sound real enough, tips on that will be appreciated.

We live in a prejudiced world and it’s almost inevitable to be victimized at some point in your life, or as I discovered last year at the badminton tryouts. I was refused a spot on the team solely because the person who made it instead was the coach’s nephew. I had proven how much more skilled and experienced I was compared to him but as it turned out, it hardly mattered how good or bad you were. As long as you were resourceful and had contacts, either by relations or socialism, it filled all gaps. No longer did merit create opportunities. The feeling may just reflect my upbringing and melodramatic nature. The pampered and sheltered lifestyle I had adopted and the society I was exposed to had spoiled me a lot. But I still saw it as injustice and an opportunity not missed but ripped away by the unfair organization.

I had no way to redeem myself, neither was there a process. The whole system shared the flaws, from top to bottom. Everyone was either too ignorant or arrogant to complain to. I could discuss the matters with my principal, but how would that make things better? The coach would hate me along with half the school. I doubt any one of my classmates was as understanding and sympathetic as the ones we see in movies. They were just a bunch of apathetic humans who were a part of the same unjust framework. Going against it would prove nothing. I would lose me some respect and friends and I may earn a few titles in the process. So I decided to treat it like a lucid nightmare I would forget the next morning.
