Hey! I'm using Peterson's Clepp practice test, and I wanted to know if anyone could take a look at my score and my first essay to see if I would be able to pass the exam? I got a 78 % on the multiple choice, and my timed 30 minute essay is posted below.
Help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Topic: I donât care how poor a person is; if he has family, heâs rich.
Life is not meant to be measured by one's monetary value or the possessions he or she owns. Many people nowadays do not seek the rich fulfillment of love and family. Instead, they seek the instant gratification of what their credit cards will buy them. It seems that the more possessions someone obtains, the faster they lose their sense of what matters in life.
Many people believe that the more they buy, the more respect they will gain. By owning expensive things, they are perceived as successful by their colleagues. Some people truly believe that these items will last forever, and their possessions will always bring them joy. However, they do not realize that in twenty years, that brand new Mustang GT won't start without having to manually hot wire it every morning. If he or she had family around, they could have simply called and asked for a ride.
It is better to be broke and surrounded by loved ones that to own more than necessary with no one to share it with. Things break down and stop working, and sometimes are lost or burned to the ground. Family is blood. It is a bond that holds forever, in life and in death. Without anyone to love or give love to, life means nothing. What is respect when it is given for items you own, rather than your achievements and accomplishments?
To have a family is to have people that will always love you, no matter how tough things get. No amount of money in the world can buy them, just as no amount of money could get them to leave. A man who has a helping hand, someone to hold, or someone to answer a desperate phone call in the odd hours of the night, has more in value and worth than the man or woman who just won the Power Ball.
Andd that's it.. It's not too great and I've noticed a couple of mistakes, but tell me what you think.
