Commas are your friend, too many periods = painful to read. Learn how to make compound sentences and try your best to not sound repetitive.

By the way, I am an English teacher and a freelance writer, and the greatest advice I can give you is: having your essay proofread once is not smart, it is common sense. Having your essay proofread twice is a good idea, but only a bit better than common sense. Having your essay proofread three times is getting closer to being smart... you get the idea.
