    This is a really wise insight. Honestly you just got at the crux of what makes this essay (and college admissions in general) feel so huge. Trying to promote yourself when you still aren’t even sure who you are (or where you want to go or what you might want to do when you get there). Thank you by the way💛 I would say just take it step by step, and along the way you’ll find that you’ve actually learned a lot about yourself

    lol i love how it’s a college advice video that doesn’t go over “hacks,” but rather ACTUALLY opens your eyes on what writing an essay about yourself means and needs !!! i really loved how you kept reminding that we shouldn’t dilute ourselves with the thoughts and ideas and essays others may be writing/have written. With so many edgy essays having made headlines or being thrown in our faces it becomes so difficult to focus on authenticity and writing how you yourself would want to write, and even makes it hard to talk about things that actually = you! And your essay is crazy!!! I was able to see (past) you in it as soon as you brought up worrying about if the flamenco dancer’s passion was too much!! That itself is creative- to show how our perspective and thoughts on things are unique and reflective of our own deepest thoughts, and looking into times we’ve been worried about something or happy or anything can convey who we really are too!

    Writing a great Common App essay can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you get started: Start early: Don't wait until the last minute to begin writing your essay. Start brainstorming and drafting your ideas well in advance to give yourself plenty of time to revise and polish your essay. Choose a unique topic: Don't write about something that has been written about countless times before. Choose a topic that is unique to you and that will allow you to showcase your personality, interests, and experiences. Show, don't tell: Use concrete examples and vivid descriptions to bring your story to life. Don't just tell the admissions officers what happened, show them how you felt and how you grew from the experience. Be concise: The Common App essay has a strict word limit, so make every word count. Avoid using unnecessary words or phrases and focus on conveying your message as clearly and concisely as possible. Be honest and authentic: Don't try to impress the admissions officers with what you think they want to hear. Be honest and authentic in your writing, and let your true self shine through. Get feedback: Have someone else read your essay and give you feedback. This could be a teacher, counselor, or trusted friend or family member. Take their feedback into consideration, but remember that ultimately, it's your essay and your story. Edit and proofread: Once you've written a draft of your essay, edit and proofread it carefully. Check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure your essay flows smoothly and makes sense. If you need someone to help you write the essay, reach out to me. I also do personal statements and research papers.

    Beautiful essay, as always so thoughtful and in depth. I agree with Julia, in high school you have to stay as true to yourself as possible. Easier said than done when you are competing and comparing yourself with other people in your class. But really write what represents you in the best light. Being yourself will save you from going down a path you pretend to love.
