Video Summary:
Hi everyone, I'm Coach Donna Marie, your writing tutor. Today I'll share important information about college application essays.
A common question from high school seniors is: What are college and scholarship committees looking for in essays?
Short Answer:
They want to understand who you are beyond grades and test scores, see your uniqueness, and evaluate how you'll contribute to their community. They look for self-awareness, critical thinking, and clear communication skills. Let me break this down, especially for people of color and young women who might discount their experiences.
First tip:
See yourself through the eyes of people who support you - coaches, teachers, mentors, family members who genuinely care. Learn to accept compliments gracefully.
Second tip:
Value your contributions, even seemingly mundane activities like babysitting. Ask trusted people for feedback about your strengths.
Third tip:
For self-reflection, try turning off all distractions - no social media, TV, or other inputs. Sit quietly with your thoughts. Keep a journal or recording device handy, even by your bed or in the bathroom. Great ideas can come at unexpected moments.
Fourth tip:
To improve your writing, read quality materials like historical biographies and professional journals. Good writing will influence your own writing quality.
