Juniors and Seniors…now is a good time to start thinking about writing a personal statement. The main question (500-600 words) for most college applications will ask you about a significant experience, person, book, or event in your life that has helped you to become who you are today. Often the short question (150-200 words) will ask you about your most meaningful extracurricular activity. Start making a list of ideas that could be topics for these essays. The long essay should show (not just tell) a lot about you. The short question is your chance to explain how or why a sport, club, class, camp, or a community service activity has been meaningful to you.

Danielle,
Diana Candee, Caitlyn’s mom from CAP High School gave me this link. I would like to hire you for SAT Prep for my incoming Junior, also at CAP… She is full IB and would like to have tutoring start in the summer before all the homework starts back up again. Do you have any free time in Aug.? Please e-mail me.
Thanks,
Jill
