"This is an interesting view into the history of heraldry, and you give it a good personal touch. Your description of your specific coat of arms is vivid and lets the reader picture it for themselves. However, there are some vague points that should be cleared up. You mention what the different images on the coat of arms symbolize about yourself, but you don't explain how you exhibit these traits (i.e., what makes you loyal or generous?). There is also no explanation of how certain colors denote certain traits. The history of heraldry should appear before the discussion of this specific coat of arms in order to give your reader some context. There are a number of grammatical errors that should be cleared up before submitting."
