"I can't imagine going through the college admissions process without the guidance and expertise of Mrs. Kaufman. Not only did she inspire me to produce excellent work she gave me the confidence to always believe in myself. She made me feel so proud of my accomplishments and I knew I could trust her to help me make the right choice. It's not easy for me to open up to people, but I feel extremely comfortable talking to Mrs. Kaufman. She has the warmest heart and truly loves what she does. I value her opinion and I have such respect for her advice. I am currently a freshman in college and I have already called her for more advice. She is awesome! Thanks Marilyn for all your unconditional support and for believing in me…I couldn't have done it without you!"
