Throughout our time working together, Mrs. Penny’s guidance and support were truly invaluable to me, and I am incredibly appreciative of the influence that she had on my life. In the brief time that I have known her, Mrs. Penny’s mentorship was a true blessing. Her invaluable advice and continuous support enabled me to overcome challenges and ultimately led to my achievements in the past year. I'm grateful for the time she spent helping me with my essays, brainstorming ideas, and making sure everything was polished and ready to go. She always told me the truth, even when it was hard to hear, and I appreciate that honesty more than words can express. Even when I felt discouraged by the sheer number of obligations that I had, her consistent encouragement and support helped me maintain my concentration and motivation. She aided me in overcoming every challenge that I encountered, and with her guidance and support, I was able to accomplish my objectives. I am once again immensely grateful for her dedication and commitment to helping me achieve my goals. Mrs. Penny truly is an amazing mentor, and I'm blessed to have had her in my corner.
I met Penny a year ago while I was working on my US applications. Back then I felt lost. Navigating through various requirements, deadlines, and selecting the right institutions seemed like an impossible task. The whole process was stressful and I often ended up questioning my abilities. During this challenging period, Penny was my guiding light. From our first meeting, I could sense her dedication and I knew that I could trust her. Whether it was choosing the universities that were more suitable for me or crafting a compelling personal statement she was always by my side, answering my questions and finding ways to tackle every problem that arose. ( I honestly don’t know how someone can come up with effective solutions that quickly. I really admire her for that!). She was always straightforward and never failed to tell the truth, even if it might be difficult to hear. In a world filled with sugar-coated truths, having a person who provides unbiased feedback was really valuable for me. Her guidance not only shaped the content of my applications but also enriched my growth as an individual. If I had to repeat this journey again I know for sure that I would like Penny to be part of it. Thank you for being my mentor! I will always be grateful.
I worked with Penny on my US applications for two years and I still remember how anxious I felt the first time we met. Our regular sessions eased my worries as I knew I was in good hands. Her deep knowledge, support and experience allowed her to guide me in choosing the combination of universities best suited me. Everytime I entered her office, she would give me the perfect piece of advice (bringing me back down to earth when the universities I added got too extreme). I trusted her since I knew she was always looking out for my best interest. No matter how much she had going on, she always made time for me. Her intense willingness and abilities to help are unmatched and gave me the confidence to go through the entire process, from setting up my Common App account to pressing the submit button. But she is not just a college counselor. I will miss our long conversations about life, Taylor Swift and the best coffee shops. She instantly understood me and the essays we wrote perfectly represented me. They added a personal touch to my application, while also being extremely polished. Above all, I was extremely fortunate to have her by my side throughout the whole college application process and I can’t recommend her enough. Penny is the best and I could have NEVER done it without her!
When I started the college application process, I wasn’t sure where I stood. Living with dyslexia made school a constant challenge, and even though I was always the outgoing, talkative kid, I didn’t see myself as someone who’d stand out on paper. But Penny did. Along with my parents, she was the one who saw my strengths—my creativity, my drive, and the way I connect with people—and never let me forget them. From day one, Penny was there. Every call, every question, every tiny freak-out moment—I could count on her to respond, follow up, and show up with the right words. Our brainstorming sessions turned into real conversations that helped me figure out who I am. With her support, I found the confidence to write a book. And together, we wrote an essay that told my story exactly as it needed to be told. Thanks to Penny, I got into Tulane—my dream school. I’m starting this new chapter with pride and excitement, and yes, I’m saving her a spot at Mardi Gras. She didn’t just help me get in—she helped me believe I belonged
