I learned that core values are very important part of the college essays. I thought that there are very few topics I could write about but after today I got lots of ideas about what I could write my essay about and how to structure it.

Andrea

I really like how this wasn't so much of a lecture rather an interactive time with a helpful worksheet to fill in on my own.

Francesco

It was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be, and I was more engaged than I thought as well.
