    Hey YesReneau, I just got into Stanford. Your essay video and vlog inspired me to write essays that were creative, artsy and 'uniquely me'. You inspire me to be daring, take risks and express my madness and craziness to the fullest. Thank you.

      Hahaha I'm glad I helped bring out a little of your wild side :) You're going to need it next year--Stanford is crazy (I mean, their *unofficial* mascot is literally a tree lololol I love it)!

    “The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a "Harvard man" is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.”

    this is sooo much more relatable and seems much more genuine than other youtubers out there.I am 17 too , played soccer for about a decade and now considering to start playing tennis......I am really struggling to decide what to do in the future i.e college for now....I am really interested in maths,psychology,neuroscience,surgery and whatnot......The college applicaions are just around the corner and I have not decided anything yet.....and I really do not have anyone to take real advice from~advice from parents does not help either.....sometimes I wonder why am I the only one unsure about my life while all my friends have already decided their career paths.....If u ever see this I just want to say watching ur videos gives me hope that I might actually make it.

    Hey YesReneau,
    I just wanted to say a few words about how much you inspire me and keep me going in school.
    As I am writing this I"m a freshmen on my 2nd week of high school staying up to hopefully have you read this. I remember I only watched like 2 of your videos one time in middle school looking up ways to GET WORK DONE and the inspiring words you said to all the viewers watching kept me thinking and I still remember you in your Harry Potter style glasses telling me that I have to work hard in order to get through life. Now it has been a while since you have graduated from Harvard and you are fulfilling my future dream. Traveling the world, I flew on a plane once in my life I remember, and the excitement I felt the whole time was radiant. I just want to let you know that you will be on the trending list almost daily one point in your life with millions of people looking forward to your new post. Just like I have started a new era of my life (High school) you have too...
    PS: i luv u and let the haters hate cause they don"t matter :D)))))))
