Writing your college application essay can be very stressful. Often, students put off starting the process because they simply don't know where to begin.  Parents become anxious . Often, their input is not appreciated and they feel helpless. I provide the support and the strategies that guide you through the entire process.  As a result, what loomed as a daunting task becomes an opportunity to explore who you are and the great things you have inside that you will share with the reader. Your essay helps the admissions office get to know you, recognize your humanity and see beyond transcripts and scores. No, I don't write the essay for you... I help you become a writer with the capacity to present yourself in a creative and thoughtful manner.  According to college admissions officers, the essay is more important than ever in this increasingly competitive environment. While this is the reality, the process of writing the essay should be one of personal reflection and growth, resulting in a sense of accomplishment. That approach produces a winning essay. How do I support you?  In personal, one on one sessions, I will help you: Explore potential topics that reveal you as a unique individual. Present a point of view that demonstrates thoughtfulness. Create an original and memorable text that will help you and your essay stand out among the rest. Develop the ability to find your writer's voice that is personal and direct.  Use vocabulary that is dynamic, imaginative and intellectual.  Draw on specific experiences, including vivid detail that reflect self awareness, values and creativity. Demonstrate writing skills that result in a clear and articulate statement that fully answers the question. REMEMBER, collaborating with a supportive and enthusiastic advisor who believes in your ability to achieve success, will empower you to feel confident and write an essay that projects your best qualities.     I BELIEVE EVERY STUDENT HAS A GENIUS FOR SOMETHING, AND I WILL HELP YOU FIND YOURS!
