Students applying to college are often asked to write a personal statement as part of their application package. This class provides a head start on the process so students can hit the ground running when the upcoming application season is underway. Taught by a distinguished college writing professor, this class will help high school students get a head start on the application writing process by learning about the purpose of a personal statement, what makes an effective statement stand out, and--most importantly--HOW to figure out what to say and how to say it. Students will be guided through several introductory in-class brainstorming activities to gather their ideas, and will leave the class with meaningful notes in hand from which to outline and draft their essays in the future. The college application process can feel daunting to many students, but it doesn’t need to be. A key to success is understanding what college admissions offices are looking for and being confident with a clear plan of how to communicate your strengths in each part of the application package. Let’s check off these boxes when it comes to writing the personal statement! Students will encounter a knowledgeable and supportive instructor who is eager to help set students' minds at ease and provide powerful tools to launch them into this exciting stage of their educational journeys. The class will be both informative and engaging!
