My Biggest Takeaway from today is that it is possiblt after all to show who you are through an essay

Dear Arianna,

2021-07-23 19:19:34 UTC

thank you for helping me with my essays, I learned how to open up more about my essays, It was an amazing I appreciate your advice on my writing.

Manuela

2021-07-23 19:19:36 UTC

My biggest takeaway for today is about the importance of "stepping up to the plate". You never know what impact that can have in someone else's life. Oh! And I didn't come this far just to get this far ;)

Take away: I should not minimize my trauma and I am allowed to brag a little big. I am thankful for having such a great review partner to help me improve.

From Jo Ann:

Take away:
I learned a lot about Jorge's curious nature and personal growth over his years in high school. I appreciated his willingness to be open about much of it and to be reflective on it.
Note of gratitude:
Dear Jorge, thank you for sharing your story with me and allowing the opportunity to help you grow as a writer! Remember that the writing process is always ongoing and allowing yourself to go with the process will make you an even better writer. Best wishes as you move ahead and prepare for college and beyond. :)

Take away- Every student is unique and the best part of working with the students is helping them build their stories on their unique qualities.

Gratitude- Thank you Ana for being open and vulnerable and being honest when you wanted to change something and when you did not want to change something! :D

Diana and Cecalie

2021-07-23 19:20:02 UTC

My biggest takeaway is to include example of what you are stating and to not be afraid to switch things around. Adding extra details can improve what the reading is picturing. Thank you so much, Cecalie!! :D

Jorge

2021-07-23 19:20:09 UTC

you have taught me so much and gave me the confidence I need to keep writing . appreciate you for your time.

Dear Amanda,

2021-07-23 19:20:09 UTC

Thank you for the time you spent helping me edit. You gave me a lot more confidence in my writing and made me think a lot about not doubting my writing so much.

Dear Abner,

2021-07-23 19:20:15 UTC

It was such a pleasure getting to work with you! I really appreciated your thoughtfulness and compelling pieces. I feel like I am taking away an ability to better support and give possible creative options as an editor/reviewer.

Diana!

2021-07-23 19:20:15 UTC

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and letting me help you with your essays. You are an amazing kiddo and I know you're going to do great things. Feel free to email me if you need help tomorrow or any time in the future.

Victor

2021-07-23 19:20:20 UTC

My biggest takeaway for today was definitely the importance of talking more about myself.

It's me, Tamika

2021-07-23 19:20:21 UTC

My biggest takeaway has been how this new generation is really stepping up and taking charge of their futures, despite in some case, seemingly overwhelming challenges.

My gratitude for Vanessa is immense! I appreciate them for being so open and honest about who they are as a queer, non-binary person of color.

Esveidy

erodriguezmelendez0136 — 2021-07-23 19:20:22 UTC

My biggest takeaway was that it is okay to ask for help and to be more confident in my work. Thank you so much for being so caring and supportive. I really appreciate your advice and opinion on my writing.

2021-07-23 19:20:23 UTC

Dear Tamika

2021-07-23 19:20:25 UTC

Something I learned while working with you that I will forever keep in mind is that there is no need to lose the significance of a sentence just because you're shortening it. Keep the important points in the sentence. ( I still can't typeeee). Thank you so much for being patient with me and helping feel confident in my writing skills. The entire time I felt like I was talking with a friend (,:

Gracias Santiago! :)

maryonrocha — 2021-07-23 19:20:27 UTC

I really enjoyed talking about music and cartoons with you :D. Getting a good laugh and remembering stuff was really fun. Thank you for sharing your music with me and being so friendly <3.

Dear Griselda,

2021-07-23 19:20:28 UTC

Thank you so much for your time and all your help! your feedback was so helpful and I am looking forward to work together again.

Takeaway from meeting Aroldo

2021-07-23 19:20:29 UTC

Its clear that you have a goal not only for where you want to be but the person you want to be. Dont be afraid to be yourself and express your truths. Keep the hard working attitude, its going to take you far in life not just your career.

take way- every person has a story and dreams to talk about. I learned from my partner that I can improve much as I want to I just need to do my best and aske for help. also I learned the more specific you are the better your essays are.

Diana! Thank you!

2021-07-23 19:23:18 UTC

I learned about Spanish Reggeton music and that I need to read more John Green. I also learned how great it is to feel like you have two homes and two languages.

Tessa-I’m so thankful you helped me and I’m glad I got to know you a little :) hopefully we can keep in touch. Thank you so much !

My takeaway:

2021-07-23 19:24:06 UTC

Their was a lot of things I learned from this experience with having someone else edit your work. I’ve never had anyone else edit my work before so this was really eye opening. I personally thought my essay was perfect and didn’t need any more help but as I talked with Frankie, she brought a lot more of ideas that could help strengthen my essay. I learned that sometimes you need someone to see things from a different point of view. I really enjoyed this experience and I will most definitely use the tip and ideas that Frankie brought to the table about my essays. :)
