Erin's feedback:

"You tell a powerful story about friendship here. One thing I thought you did particularly well was expose small details along the way: the way she noticed you watching other students, for instance. Or when she presented you with the photos of your uncle, which tells the reader more of your story -- that you were family -- without coming right out and saying it. That's a great storytelling skill. As for what you can improve, I did find that the beginning of your conclusion was a little confusing; you may want to clarify what you mean by "kept being her friend" yet not speaking since that day. I would also recommend proofreading your essay to fix up the issues with punctuation, sentence structure, and grammar; they're not numerous, but there are small errors sprinkled throughout."
