College Writing

After supporting the Class of 2024 alongside TD’s College Counselors and Ms. Silvia Burt and also celebrating the Seniors’ university acceptances, Mr. Kris launched three College Writing Workshops in the second semester for Juniors geared towards Personal Statements. In collaboration with the College Counselors, Mr. Kris took the best of these workshops to develop the Summer College Writing Workshop for the Class of 2025 held on May 20-22. He covered the basics about Personal Statements and Supplemental Essays and shared invaluable insights on effective brainstorming methods, outlining strategies, writing first drafts, and more. 

While discovering more about themselves throughout the workshops, the Juniors asked relevant questions, sought feedback, and engaged with their peers in a supportive and dynamic environment. All together the workshops have enhanced the Juniors’ ability to craft authentic and creative written pieces while providing them an early start on their college essays. 

With a dash of dedication and a teaspoon of tenacity, the Class of 2025 has made strides to produce vivid portrayals of who they are through their powerful personal statements and convincing supplemental essays in order to secure their desired college and career choices. 

We’re proud of you Bears!
