Registration is required.  Registrants will receive Zoom link prior to program.Writing your college essay can be a little confusing, and even a bit frustrating, but the fact of it is: your essay is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the university's admissions officers. Without the essay, you're data: a series of GPAs, SAT/ACT scores, honors, achievements, & extracurriculars.........but what is your personality like? Are you funny?Witty? Sarcastic?Did you have an experience that shaped you?Can you tell a story?What are your quirks? What makes you YOU? While most students can write about history or lit, it's not often that we have to write about ourselves, and that in itself is a challenge. How do you talk about yourself without bragging?Join us as we cover the ins & outs of crafting your college essay. It'll be an interactive session so you can ask questions along the way!Here's what we'll cover:  1. What does a good essay look like? 2. Mistakes & topics to AVOID3. Deconstruct good essays & see what worked & why. 4. Starting your essay...what should you think about before you start writing?The session will be run by Priyanka Shingala of Let's Talk College, LLC based in Redding, CT. Priyanka has been working in the test prep industry for almost 10 years, helping students & their families navigate the college applications process.    Contact: Kristine Oulman : 203-261-0134 : koulman@eastonlibrary.org []

Registration is required for each session. Students should register for all three sessions. Session 2: July 22, session 3: July 29.  Zoom lonk wil be sent via email prior to the program. Your college essay is the first time that the admissions committee gets a glimpse of your personality: Are you funny? Family-oriented? Who do you admire? What are your goals? What contributions do you hope to make? But of course, writing it can be confusing, and even a little frustrating. After all, where are you supposed to start? What does a good essay look like?  In this workshop, we're going to talk about all of that. In fact, we're going to: Take a look at sample essays to see what good essays look like,Discuss do's and don'ts, Map out your essays topics & get you started on your essay.  For most students, your essay is really the main shot you get at making an impression, so it's not surprising that it feels a little daunting.  Join us as we systematically work through just how to approach college essays and help you map out yours. Note: You will NOT be able to complete your entire essay in just the 3-sessions, however, you'll have your idea and, if you complete the assigned homework, your first draft complete. See you soon!Contact: Kristine Oulman : 203-261-0134 : koulman@eastonlibrary.org []
