This guide will help you tell your Mighty Story."This is an expert, engaging, and truly helpful guide for any student staring down the "mouth of hell" --the daunting college application essay process."--Katherine Ellison, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of "Buzz: A Year of Paying Attention."College application essays offer the chance to present who you are, in all of your particular splendor. To own that splendor is no easy task: sometimes the gems right in front of you are buried deep beneath a pile of expectations and commitments and doubt.The truth, however, is simple: you just need to dig them up. In other words, you have a life, and that life is full of stories.When Irena and I chat, and we frequently do, there's a common theme: we love our jobs. Why? Because our students find their way into college, not solely through improving test scores or bolstering their list of activities, but by expressing their truest selves. Students who write for school papers, who struggle with dyslexia, who battle scorpions in Texas, search for mushrooms in Oregon, or jog Central Park religiously each day. We get to know them all, and in knowing them, like them immensely. We cheer them on, offering tips from the sidelines--we love being part of a team. This guide itself is an example of teamwork. I drafted the following exercises as a series of blog posts, and together we clarified a vision, coauthored new sections, scheduled weekly phone calls to work through revisions and edits. We get it that writers need support, especially when the work of writing is that of discovering what matters to you and who you truly want to be. Testimonials"Writing is an art. It is a skill honed with exposure to the best writing, and, more importantly, with guidance on how to tailor your unique expression. Irena and Laurie are wizards with words: they helped me crystallize verbose sentences and infuse them with new meaning and impact. I love most that their guidance is empowering. It enables and equips you to chart out a beautiful piece of writing that tells your story. This confidence and self-reflection is necessary going into an essay-writing process. Above all, their warmth, dedication, and collaborative approach made my application process a very memorable experience, one that I shall cherish forever."--Student, Duke University "Irena and Laurie guided me through the process of expressing my own voice and helped me express that voice most clearly and impactfully. Their advice was always clear--not only did they advise what I needed to work on, they also helped me with how to go about it, which is usually where I get stuck. Working with Laurie and Irena was more than writing a college essay--they also really pushed me to really reflect and be honest with myself, which ultimately helped me gain a deeper understanding of who I was and what I wanted to do."--Student, Harvard University "I truly believe that Laurie's insightful questions made my son's essays come alive. I don't think he would have achieved the same results without her. Not only was he accepted at his first choice school, but he was given the Rensselaer Leadership Award which is a four-year merit scholarship."-- Parent, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute student"This book was super helpful! I read through it in one sitting and now have a million things I could write about. Laurie and Irena's compelling and easy-to-follow advice gave me confidence and inspired me to try the exercises not because I had to, but because it was fun. "--Student, Austin Waldorf High School

Writing an amazing college admission essay is easier than you think! So you're a high school senior given the task of writing a 650-word personal statement for your college application. Do you tell the story of your life, or a story from your life? Do you choose a single moment? If so, which one? The options seem endless. Lucky for you, they're not. College counselor Ethan Sawyer (aka The College Essay Guy) will show you that there are only four (really, four!) types of college admission essays. And all you have to do to figure out which type is best for you is answer two simple questions: 1. Have you experienced significant challenges in your life? 2. Do you know what you want to be or do in the future? With these questions providing the building blocks for your essay, Sawyer guides you through the rest of the process, from choosing a structure to revising your essay, and answers the big questions that have probably been keeping you up at night: How do I brag in a way that doesn't sound like bragging? and How do I make my essay, like, deep? Packed with tips, tricks, exercises, and sample essays from real students who got into their dream schools, College Essay Essentials is the only college essay guide to make this complicated process logical, simple, and (dare we say it?) a little bit fun.
