COLLEGE ESSAY: The Smallest Occurrence Can Make the Greatest Story

If you’re a high school senior, would you please drop me a line?

I’m determining the best date for another workshop on “Brainstorm Your College Essay.”

I know this is the busiest time of your life and fitting in another classroom event is the last thing on your mind.

But if you’re struggling to find a topic for your college essay, this workshop can put you in the driver’s seat. It will help you think about your life from a new angle and see the possibilities of a well-constructed story wrapped around an incident that you may never have viewed as a worthy topic.

Great stories can come from minor occurrences. Keep that in mind as you mine your brain for ideas.

Email me now and let me know if you’d like to attend a workshop in early October with the College Essay Confidante: winningcollegeessay@gmail.com

And don’t forget that I’m offering the same workshop at Acton-Boxborough High School, 36 Charter Road, Acton, on Thursday, Oct. 12 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Register here.
