<p>You may recall my post about my D's torture on the rack of the common app essay. Many of you offered insightful comments about breaking through the block. I'm not sure what happened...whether it was the essay fairy or ...? But you all were right! She showed me a piece last night that bears NO resemblance whatsoever to the drivel I read two days ago. It reads like HER!! It is personal, revealing as to personality and character, is insightful into the book she used. It is amusing. It has voice! She didn't have to insert another litany of accomplishments, which she hates doing.</p>
<p>The best thing, though: she knew she finally understood what was needed. </p>
<p>"Eureka! I have found it!"</p>
