Not only does it convey you exceptional writing skills, as you were so vividly descriptive, but it also shows how touched and moved you were by what you saw. While reading this I could see through your eyes the travesty that the people of those small towns in Africa go through day after day. You should be extremely proud, not only for the Essay, but for taking such a wonderful step during your summer vacation in High School to help those in need. I wish you only happiness to come, especially in college. Good Luck!! This was such an moving essay.

It is easy to see why a Director of Admissions would flag this as special. Your experience, and reflections of that experience, are poignant and so well expressed. But what really makes this stand out is the maturity you must possess to have taken away so much from your mission trip. Lizzie, you must be "kvelling" over your daughter! I'm so glad you both shared this essay with the rest of us.
