Finding my Voice

Roderick - MIT '20

"Working with Ms. Tamara was a great experience.  I applied to seven schools and was accepted to my dream school, MIT, as well as Harvard, Cornell, Georgia Tech, UGA, and Auburn.  Working with her, I learned a lot about myself as she was an amazing starting point for introspection and always pushed me to think further about what I was trying to say.  She made that it was my words, not hers or my parents going onto the paper - she made me do the work to find my voice.  Lastly, she made sure I managed my time well because applying to a lot of colleges is stressful unless you plan it out correctly (actually it's stressful either way! )"
