Please make time to make your essay shine, it doesn’t have to be perfect, but the people reading the essay really, really want to know you. They want to find a “fit” for the school and for you. Show yourself, your best self, your genuine self.

Life will be full of these critical deadlines – that short, intese sprint to the finish line. So when we adults say, this is the best year of your life, we are looking in hindsite, the way you would look at a kindergartener putting on a puppet show and remembering how fun and easy it was to talk in front of a group, before you began to feel uneasy.

Congratulations on your senior year and good luck and good writing to you. We would love to see what you have to say.
