Writing admissions essays is often the most difficult part of applying to college. This workshop will provide brainstorming activities to help students through the most common essay struggles, including: How do I know which topic to choose? How should I structure my essay? Should I write about X in my essay? How do I make my essay, like, deep? How do I know if my essay is ready to submit? Who should I ask to get help revising my essay? And when? Each participant will leave the workshop with access to 20+ videos, more worksheets, and activities to help them develop their essay and a free personal essay review once their essay draft is complete. The techniques taught in this workshop are also applicable to scholarship essays and other personal statements. Students of all ages will find help and support.
