College Essays: Who You Are
When writing a college essay, communicate to the college who you are or what you have experienced that makes you who you are.
College Essays: Word Limit
College essays are relatively brief usually with a 500-word limit. Determine the point you want to make about yourself and back it up with plenty of supporting details.
Failed Abductions
Most failed child abductions failed because of the kids’ actions to save themselves. An adult stepping in to help foiled only 16% of the cases.
College Essays: Filler
Make sure college essays are direct and without filler. An admissions director can spot filler immediately.
Organization: Miscellaneous Folder
When creating an organizational system, never have a “miscellaneous” folder. Most kids that do have a “miscellaneous” folder end up having random papers in there. Then the student doesn’t know what is in there later because it is unorganized. Each sheet of paper should have its own place to go.
Appreciate What You Have
Value your present moments with your kids. They grow up fast.
