Session Summary:
Dana did really well tonight. Since there was a month in between our first session and this one, I chose to thoroughly review what we had covered in our first session, so we started tonight's session with that. Then we proceeded with a thorough exploration of Prompt #1 as provided by the Common Application website. Our thorough exploration included an actual essay a high school senior had written in response to Prompt #1, followed by a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of that essay. I left Dana with the assignment of having a first draft in response to Prompt #1 ready by this Friday's session for her and me to discuss and revise. Thanks, Dana, for your great, hard work today. Sorry about the poor connection.
