After working for a while in journalism and communication professions, it's rather difficult to maintain a clear scale of 'success.' I have had presentations before hundreds of individuals; some of my texts were read and liked by many thousands, others by only a couple of people. Metrics and scales are always debatable. I try to think of it as an eternal journey (even if it sounds very pathetic, I guess). I aim to be open but balanced and talk about things that are important, such as creativity, culture, and freedom of thought.

This includes considering factors like extracurricular activities, personal essays, recommendation letters, and overcoming adversity. By highlighting these intricacies, the media can foster a more nuanced understanding of the admissions process and debunk simplistic narratives that overlook the broader context. https://bit.ly/46LBHMK #CommPRO #AffirmativeAction #SupremeCourt
