Today, I mostly worked with Jeffrey on his essay. We had a long discussion about digging deeper and connecting his ideas to a focus that has purpose, focusing on answering the prompt and showing an in-depth and personalized essence of who he is. Jeffrey has several drafts so far, and I believe his first draft delivered the most promise. We discussed how he can combine ideas from all of his drafts. Jeffrey has a story, but it is not coming to the surface. Cindy and I both spoke with him to help him "get" his story out. I will meet with both Ryan and Jeffrey on Friday
