I wouldn't go into any of the parts about sign language forcing people to put down phones and communicate. It's not a relevant part of your daughter's story and potentially distracts from the essay.>>

The only reason I mention that is because a couple weeks I met a man at a local golf course who went to Yale, his daughter went to Yale, and he used to interview applicants out here in Los Angeles. We started talking about Yale (because my daughter did a summer program there and loved it) and the essays, etc. I mentioned that my daughter was very into Sign Language, what attracted her to it, and perhaps that would be the subject matter of her essay. What he said, no matter what she writes about, make it very personal, but also relate it to the bigger picture. His wife was a Lactaid nurse so growing up his daughter was always around bottles of milk in the family’s refrigerator and she was somehow able to use the bottles of milk as symbols of life, etc. Not really sure how she did it because our conversation was very short. But it really stuck with me and how one’s essay shouldn’t just be about your personal experience and journey but try and relate it to a big picture. That’s all I meant by the comments previously. Obviously it’s entirely up to my daughter how she wants to proceed.
