Three keys to college essays:

 

Healthy seeds: chose exciting topics.

Do the prep work of developing a strong essay topic before you begin writing. Your topic is your foundation. Healthy plants can’t grow without healthy seeds.

Water your ideas.

The #1 factor that makes a great college essay is time. Give yourself the time to be successful through short, regular sessions. Seeds need water to grow into healthy essays.

Pruning: hone your editing skills.

Most good writing is good editing. I teach students editing skills by example. You’ll learn to maximize efficiency, minimize stress, and optimize storytelling.
