Acceptance is an essay away!
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.

The college process is complex and emotionally draining. However, Mrs. Kashman made this process effortless by reviewing my college essay and helping me through the entire process itself. Instead of writing the essay for me, she guided me as I wrote the essay myself and then aided me in ameliorating the essay, even when I thought it was complete. She truly cares about her students and doesn't quit until the essay is as perfect as it could possibly be. Mrs. Kashman instilled in me confidence that I didn't know existed. Without her I don't know if I would be as happy as I am today at the school of my dreams.
