| Next Essay Workshop This Sunday, 9/15 at 8pm EST. |
|
Julie attended our August essay workshop with her son and had this to say:
"My son was struggling with committing to an essay topic. He kept questioning his choices and starting over again, but not making much progress. This workshop helped him understand that he was already on the right track and gave him some good tips and strategies to refine his topic. The webinar format was great for him - just reading articles about what to do wasn't quite enough. It was well worth our time!" - Julie F., mother of a high school senior.
If any of this sounds familiar... - struggling to start their essay,
- undecided about a topic,
- confused about what colleges are looking for
then consider attending Sunday's workshop at 8pm EST.

Brad Schiller, CEO of Prompt, will be leading this workshop to help students brainstorm their essay topic, understand what colleges are looking for in essays, choose an appropriate essay structure, and create an outline.
If your student has already written a draft you can email it to me (debbie@road2college.com) and Brad will use these essays (anonymously) as examples in the workshop.

We partnered with essay review company Prompt to help you and your student get through this hectic (and yes, stressful) time, and get that essay done!
Working with Prompt last year, and watching them in action (they’ve helped 10,000+ students!) has convinced us that their strategies and level of expertise can help any student tell the best possible version of his/her own story.
By working with 10,000+ students and talking with college admissions officers, Prompt has a level of insight into what colleges are looking for in essays, that can't be found anywhere else.
Prompt’s free software helps students brainstorm topics, figure out what to write about, and introduce themselves to the reader in a unique and compelling way.

As always, feel free to respond to this email with any questions.
