We are using a college counselor who is working on essays with my daughter. My daughter is a good writer but I don't think this particular essay is so great, partly because of the topic but also because the true quality of her writing doesn't come through. College counselor loves the essay and so my daughter is ready to submit it. I think my daughter likes it too. I was doubting myself so I sent the essay to my sisters and to two of my friends. None of them liked it. (My one sister's husband liked it though.) I don't know what to do now because the college counselor is the "expert" and my daughter thinks she knows more than I do. I haven't told her that I sent it to all those people because I think if I do that she will feel ganged up on. I really just did it so I would know if my feelings were justified.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to handle this situation? Thanks.
