College Essays

Essays are crucial in communicating to the colleges who you are. Tell them the story of YOU! Here are some great tips and resources to use as you write your essays.

Tell your story. Do not give a list of things they can find on your resume or application.
Pick out a particular moment or idea and make it universal. Take that particular thing
Show growth as a person. Growth academically, personally, emotionally, and taking positive risks.
Edit! Have two other people who you know writes well, read it and help you edit. I will edit your work! Please share with me and I will be happy to edit your essay.
Use Grammerly! It is a great app to use, if you aren't a confident writer.
