Acceptance is an essay away!
When I discovered that the school I wanted to attend was also one of the top 15 in the nation, I knew that I was in for a challenging application process. And since I was also applying to a school of journalism, I knew that my writing was an even more essential part of my application. Working with Mrs. Kashman was a comprehensive process; she critiqued the approach, the tone, the language, and the overall interest level of my essay. She took the basic idea I had and helped me to turn it into a compelling essay. And thanks to working with her, I'm exactly where I want to be right now.

Testimonials
Since Mrs. Kashman had been my teacher in freshman English honors, Journalism and Advanced Journalism as well as my adviser of the award-winning newspaper, Spectrum, I knew that there was no one better to help me make my college essay stand out to the admissions committees. Although I knew what I wanted to write about, it was Mrs. Kashman's expertise that guided me to express my love of journalism. Mrs. Kashman would read over all of my essays as well as my supplements and correct them until they were perfected. She would never alter what I wrote; instead, she would make suggestions; she would ask questions to guide me in areas that needed more detail, and she would check my spelling and grammar. Her true talent for this sort of work is remarkable.
