5 diction lessons

As I was applying for colleges, I struggled with my confidence. I would get overwhelmed, worrying that what I would send to my colleges wouldn’t be good enough. I felt I really needed someone else’s opinion on my writing. I’m so glad that I chose Miranda to help me with my essays. She helped me to improve my diction, as well as the structure of which I wrote my essays. I appreciate her patience and enthusiasm that she showed me during our writing sessions.
