I had the idea for my essay for a while and as a pretty independent kid, I didn’t particularly want much help. But when I received your edits, I really appreciated how you took the time to understand what I was trying to get across. I liked how you did not try to completely rewrite my essay but instead, you provided smaller edits, rewording and suggestions for addition or subtraction of ideas while staying true to the ideas that I had. Some others who helped me tried to re-write huge chunks and it really took away from the personal aspect of my essay. I commend you for the way you respected what I was writing. I liked the way your edits were different and it allowed me to pick and choose from the feedback you provided, using some of it directly and being inspired by other suggestions to write new pieces. Ultimately your suggestions were a huge help in the essay writing process and I truly believe you helped to make my essay stronger while respecting my ideas and what I wanted to write about. Thank you so much for taking your time to help me out and assist me in the college process!
