"I got into Calarts with 15000 USD scholarship. I think I will go to Calarts because it is aways my dream school. I also got into Chapman. Really happy! You are the best, Ms. Young! You are always my power and model, really. I feel what you said had a huge impact on me.”

“Thanks Joy. Your help is so useful. Joy, every time I have class with you, I learned so much about scriptwriting. It was tremendously helpful…I got my call from Columbia’s head of film department. I got admitted. Every year I have 30000 USD scholarships! Thank you for the teachers’ help, especially Ms. Joy Young – without you, I would not be admitted.”

My daughter always say that she is lucky to meet you. She has learned a lot from you, not only professional film knowledge, but also attitude for doing work. In this kind of situation, she can still complete this journey. It is great. Thank you Ms. Young! …These two years, you helped so much for my daughter. I am really thankful. Hope she can keep learning from you in the future.”
