“By day two, [my daughter] was looking forward to going [to Ethan’s class] and was so excited to see how her essay would develop by day’s end. At the end of the three days, Dana’s reaction was a sense of relief and excitement because she was completely done with her essay, she had crossed off a major task from her ‘college to-ưdo list,’ and she was so very happy with how her essay turned out.”
