I really liked your essay. This is probably like one of the essays that I've heard so far that doesn't use big vocabulary. It's more clear and easy to read. I feel like some people nerd out over it.

@MinaRyumae 2 года назад

Haha yeah I’m not the best writer so I didn’t want to write anything that was way too complicated to read. I’m so happy that you liked my essay and I really hope it helped you out!

i feel like this essay really showcased her skills a lot and she highlighted that in her story multiple times, she constantly was searching for new ways to acheive her goal of becoming taller. She highlighted her skills in a way where it wasn't rubbing it in the readers face she was telling it in a story, it felt so natural. I LOVED IT i feel so inspired and its helping me realize I have to do that a bit more in mine. thanks hun

this was actually so cute. especially the flop. flop. gotta love a good onomatopoeia. ngl at the end i thought you were going to say you just made up a cute story about the struggles of being short. i didn't think that getting a top locker could be something that was actually this important to a kid lmao but i like that it was really a true story for you

@kururugi8221 8 месяцев назад

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely essay. I'm struggling to write mine because I feel pressured to have some intricate metaphor that ties into the different facets of my life. However, your essay has definitely opened my eyes to the fact that this is a _personal_ essay; I just have to express who I am through writing and help readers gain insight into who I am.

@MinaRyumae 8 месяцев назад

That’s a great point! I think a lot of students tend to overthink the essays a lot (for good reason) but at the end of the day, admissions just want to get to know you! Happy to hear my video helped you out :)
