Why I Founded Your Epic

From "college pleasing" to authentic success

Growing up as an Asian American, I felt pressure to conform and "look good" on college apps, sacrificing my true self. In high school, I became a sociable leader to meet these expectations, which was draining and inauthentic — likely why I didn't get into my top choice school. Living inauthentically took a toll on me until I found my true self through genuine mentorship — something I had ignored for the sake of "college-pleasing." I founded Your Epic to inspire self-acceptance alongside college acceptance.

Student Success Story

How Andre Leaned Into His Authentic Self

When Andre and I started working together, he felt stuck with his essays. I encouraged him to write about his meaningful experience fostering kittens, which he initially worried wouldn't 'look good enough.' I challenged him to embrace his passions and take pride in his nurturing side — leading to his acceptance to Amherst and more prestigious universities.

"Because of Feiyang's moral support and his guidance to achieve goals that are authentic to my long-term vision, I actually started a newsletter and YouTube channel because I learned so much about writing, expressing myself, and being true to myself throughout the entire college admissions process."
Elena Yang
