"My coach showed me that to “impress” a university, it was not enough to tick off requirements from a list. If you want to actually do something, ask yourself what is wrong in the world and why you care about it - then fight to change it."

"A college essay is so much more than a CV. It’s a photograph that captures the essence of who you are. My coach made me aware of that, helping me find the right tone between passionate, poetic, and anecdotal."
