A Note to Parents

Dear Parents,


The extremely high stress level experienced by high school students has always piqued my interest. As a high school student myself, I was deeply concerned about the intense competition and pressure surrounding the college application process for not just me, but my fellow students. As a result, I participated in the Challenge Success conference at Stanford University. Alongside a team of faculty and administrators, I learned to create a healthier environment for students, characterized by a definition of success that relies upon qualitative factors such as integrity, creativity, and resilience.


The following year, the founders invited me to speak at the conference and share my perspective with two thousand participants. My speech ignited my passion to inspire others going through this process.


For the past eight years, I have channeled this passion into Admission Ignition. Today, I am still passionate about empowering high school students with writing and organizational tools that will reduce their stress in the college application process. In addition, I hope to inspire students to find joy in it through the self- discovery that occurs when writing personal essays. Beyond teaching them how to elevate their writing skills and become more organized, through their work with Admission Ignition, I am going to help them become self-reliant individuals with the tools to succeed in college. I look forward to helping students develop these skills and serving as a mentor during this exciting and formative time in their lives. During this time, I will not only offer them expertise but most importantly, compassion.


Sincerely,


Leah
