Testimonials

quote

“The brainstorm for unique essay prompts and reflecting on what I've done across high school for the activities list was fun. I also felt like I learned or discovered some things about myself as I became really mindful of how I thought and acted. I have never had to encapsulate myself, my personality, and my values in writing to this extent before so that aspect of self exploration was enjoyable for me as well.”
