When I first sought out help with my Common App essay, I didn't really know what to expect. I had experience working with tutors for high school courses, but never with a topic that was so important for my future. During my first session, I was very nervous and I wasn’t sure how the meeting would go. After having a normal conversation with Ben and getting to know each other a little bit, things were easier. Once I established a relationship with Ben, he began to help me dig deeper into my life and my personal goals and interests.
