I came to John for help writing a personal statement for six PhD program applications. I wasn’t even clear about my aspirations, but by asking critical questions, John helped me craft an articulate and confident statement that resulted in me being accepted by three of the programs!         There is a Chinese saying, that the dragon in a painting is only alive if its eyes are finished. John’s editing is like painting the eyes; he made my writing come alive by helping me see what I needed to do. I couldn’t have told my story in a clear and straightforward manner without him.
