I gained confidence in my skills (Wako)

I was a senior in high school with no thoughts about what the college application process was like primarily because my parents did not attend colleges in the United States. I had recently moved to California from Hawaii and I was adjusting to my new school. At the time, all colleges were the same to me; they had their clubs, school events, and so on. However, Paige being an exceptional and specialized expert in her field, she was able to gather certain information about me and my interests and analyze it into magic words and ideas. For example, before I met Paige, I would only see the statistics of what GPA or SAT score I needed to be admitted to a college but Paige let me know that there are so many other factors that colleges look for in applicants. 

Paige also also helped me gain a sense of confidence in my skills and in my ability to manage the application process. I was overwhelmed with pressure and self-doubt about everything. However, Paige was my hero in guiding me to find the best-fit college for me. 

Before meeting with Paige, I had never heard of the school that I am attending now, Whitman College, a small liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. I have never been so completely happy and overjoyed with my college decision. I would have not known or even thought about applying to the school that I am attending if it was not for Paige. I am forever grateful for all that she has done for me. She has inside knowledge of student life experiences for colleges and is able to recognize your story and background and apply it to finding the best suited school for you.  What I also appreciate about Paige is how she completely put herself in devotion in helping me with the process and I was able to truly witness how she cares about her students. It makes me appreciate her even more for being more than just someone that helped me find a college. 

I am a first year student in college and the fact that Paige still continuously contacts me and checks up on me shows that she goes above and beyond.
