“Dr. Po-Shen Loh has discovered a new way to solve quadratics.” Well, yes and no. Dr. Loh is a great coach, educator, and evangelist, and I admire and respect him. If he says he was “dumbfounded,” then there’s something there.

“Should I Tell Colleges I’m Asian-American?”…and Other Questions About College Applications9/12/2019 By David Montesano, Admissions Strategist and Founder of College Match

Will it hurt their chances of admission to Harvard?” I always say, “Yes, they should indicate their racial identity” and give my students the following advice to help themselves to stand out from even the most crowded and competitive college application pools.

The Secret to Mindfulness: Progressive Relaxation The ability to relax is a skill that you can learn, develop & improve at over time. It is also the core principle of mindfulness. |
