If you're in 11th grade or younger, these are by far the 5 most important videos you need to watch on this channel (no cap)

When motifs work as a hook; problem-solution ratio; beware when you mention thing that you have already showed (it sounds too obvious); vague phrases; choose values that are unique to you
Your content is soooo helpful! Thanks for existing

[@ngwuemeka1838]

Thank you so much for this series

[@dumbhooman]

Thanks for such an insightful video!
Would it be possible to share the resume you mentioned at 10:23? I would really appreciate it.

[@kodombalika]

Hi, Kevin! Thanks for this amazing video. I can't seem to find your resume file in the description. Kindle help in this matter.

[@hhondaeleazar8030]

Hi, where can I find the essay? Thank you also for your content. It is extremely helpful.

[@chemicalmilkshake]

Could you make a video about Princeton's graded paper, please? That is my dream school, and while I have everything else filled out, I'm still not sure what to do for that, especially since I couldn't take higher level classes in school. I can't seem to find too many examples online either.
