This is a terrible opening paragraph for a college essay. It just sounds like someone speaking conversationally at their Bible study group.
"God made male and female and made us differently from each other on purpose and for a purpose. God is very intentional with what He makes, and I believe trying to change that would only do more harm.
Here is the first paragraph of the essay in question, published by The Oklahoman.

Children vaccinated against hepatitis B at birth are 22% less likely to die from any cause, according to to study of medical records from 1999-2018.
Why wouldn't a parent want that vaccine for their baby? Why is a CDC vaccine panel considering taking it away?

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Grades are not a zero sum game. That would be an irresponsible way to assess students. Over 100 students took my final exam last year, and the average score was an A-. I didn’t “hand out too many As,” I just prepared the students well for their assessment. #EduSky
