Why it helps...
Many students believe the hardest part of the college essay is the writing. In reality, the hardest part is knowing what to write about.
This workbook walks you through the same discovery exercises I use with my coaching students to uncover meaningful experiences, personal values, and defining moments that admissions officers remember.
Instead of staring at a blank page, you will finish with a collection of authentic ideas and a clearer understanding of the story only you can tell.
I am Kelly, a college writing professor and essay coach with more than 25 years of experience helping students discover authentic stories that stand out in the admissions process.
My goal is simple: to help students write essays that sound like themselves, not like everyone else.
