Senior year is a busy time for students as they focus on achieving strong grades and deciding where to apply for college. No matter where they choose to go, writing a personal statement is a common part of the application requirements. Crafting Scholars is making the process a little easier by holding a college essay workshop that focuses on effectively using the creative writing process to produce a solid personal statement.
“Students often find that one of the most stressful parts of applying to college is writing admission essays,” says Kris Harris, founder of Crafting Scholars. “But it doesn’t have to be that way! Once they have a stronger grasp of the writing process and how to turn their topic into an engaging statement, it can actually be fun to write. They can tell their story in a way that intrigues admissions officers and demonstrates their writing abilities.”
To support students in tackling this process, Crafting Scholars is offering a workshop to walk students through each step. Topics addressed will include brainstorming and selecting a topic, organizing notes into an outline, writing the various parts of the essay, and staying on topic. In addition, students will learn tips for finding a creative angle that sets their experience apart and writing concisely to adhere to word counts without sacrificing essential information.
“Regular decision deadlines for many colleges are quickly approaching,” says Harris. “Students don’t want to procrastinate writing because they’re unsure of how to get started or what to say. Waiting until the last minute can leave them not only with an essay that doesn’t effectively express who they are and what they have to offer, but also with additional stress regarding the whole process.”
Crafting Scholars encourages students to register for the College Essay Workshop today as spots are filling up fast. Take advantage of the opportunity to work with learning specialists who are well-versed in the creative writing process and what it takes to create a powerful personal statement.
