Have you ever impressed yourself with your own witty remark, kind act, or wise insight on life? What qualities do your friends and families love about you? Colleges need to know these things about you, and, if written well, the college essay is a place to show off these secret talents and strong abilities in your own words. Ah, but there's the rub: words. If you do not have a command of language and your essay is confusing, muddled, or - worst of all - boring, it becomes a liability instead of a strength.
This week we will be working on crafting compelling college essays that show you in your best light. To prepare for this work, please browse the following website and begin thinking about which topics you might like to write about.
