So happy to be working with Will once again! We had a lot to catch up on. He was very open and shared how his summer went including his feelings about his summer program at Landmark. We talked about goals for the year, and he showed me the letter from Mom about the essays he needed to write. Will worked on the first essay about what he felt made him unique. He did a fine job and is about half way finished with that essay. For homework, he is going to add some details about jiu jitsu. We should be able to complete this essay and move on to the second one on Wednesday. If he has a college brochure from Mitchell, he should bring it in so we can tailor the essay response to what they offer. We had a big discussion about approaching each essay as though he definitely wanted to attend the school, so the essay has a positive tone. He was nervous about this, because he feels he has not made up his mind yet and thought it would be disingenuous. I think he understands that it is okay, and that most students apply to multiple schools.
