Laurie, you are very special to me. I know you were truly helping me when you were pushing for perfection, because there aren’t many people who would take the time to point out my mistakes like you did! I cannot appreciate your sincere help more. Without your advice, I would have never considered Colgate, and my application (especially my essays!) would never have been so flawless. There were so many steps in this complex process that could have potentially gone wrong, and it was you who made sure that all of my errors are eliminated, in every step and in every way! Every time I had a question, you always replied to my email within 24 hours, even when you were so busy with your other students.  I learned so much from you, not only about the college process, but also in seeing the whole-hearted effort you always put in your work, and you treat your students like your own daughters/sons!! I would recommend you to everyone, because I know you are truly invested in all of your students based on your tremendous help to me, a “1.5 generation” young Chinese immigrant. I am truly lucky to have had you help me throughout my high school career, and I treasure our relationship!!

XOXO
