Shake that essay stress off your back.
Let’s tell your story.
I think I know how you feel. You’ve worked hard. You have dreams for the future. You are ready to go after them.
But you have this personal statement you must write to complete your school application. This evil, ugly personal statement.
I know how you feel, because I am a writer. I’ve been facing (and filling) the blank page for 20 years. Along the way, I’ve learned there is a trick to writing an admissions essay or personal statement, whether it is to get into college, med school, law school, business school or grad school.
Ready for it? The trick is to not write an essay.
It’s to write your story.
I can guide you how to write a great one. So the most personal part of your application shines. So you can get rid of your self-doubt and stress. So you can resume your hopeful life and walking steadily on the path to your success.
Let me help you make schools say yes.
