Finding Your Story

Before you can write a great college essay, you have to find the story only you can tell. Session 1 starts at the very beginning — reframing what the essay actually is, mapping the full landscape of essays you will encounter, and walking through two structured brainstorming exercises designed to help you find a topic worth writing about. You will leave with a list of potential topics, the tools to evaluate them, and a clear direction going into Session 2.
