         <title>I think the essay responded really well to the prompy. Everything is extremely well written, but I would have liked for a more direct answer to how her identity shaped her aspirations. However, that&#39;s very nit-picky, this is excellent.</title>

         <title>She could have more explicitly stated how her mother&#39;s hardships tie into her own, although based off of what she&#39;s written it&#39;s easy to infer, but it would be better to know definitively what she thinks</title>

         <title>The essay could&#39;ve done more to talk about how her mother&#39;s struggle as an immigrant impacted her and her story rather than focusing on her mother.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have to respectfully disagree with what most people have said so far. I believe that the writer did a good job talking about her passion for music which answers the prompt. However, the writer brought up computer science with no previous mention which felt a little abrupt as a reader. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the writer could have explained how music relates to computer science/STEM and how it could applied within those respective fields. I feel that this would have allowed for more of a linear flow within the essay overall. However, all in all, it was a very well written essay.</div>]]></description>
