As I start to think about my college essays, I'm wondering what resources are available to help me write a strong essay. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! It's great that you're starting to think about your college essays. Having gone through this process with my own child recently, I can share some resources we found helpful. First, you may want to check out the College Essay Guy (https://www.collegeessayguy.com/). He has a lot of free resources, including brainstorming exercises and essay examples, which can give you a good idea of what works in a college essay. Additionally, the Common App (https://www.commonapp.org/) website has tips on how to approach their essay prompts, as well as examples of successful essays. Another resource is your school's writing center or English teacher, who can give you feedback on your writing and ideas. Finally, don't underestimate the value of having a few trusted friends or family members review your essay - they can provide valuable perspective and suggestions for improvement. Good luck, and I hope these resources help you craft a strong essay!
