Intro to your CommonApp Personal Essay

 A workshop for high school juniors and seniors & their parents/caregivers

Join us for this workshop where Lauren Henry with Take the Helm College Advising will introduce you and your teen to the CommonApp personal essay.

Lauren will help to answer questions like:

  • Do you know who you are writing the essay for?
  • Can you identify what the point of the essay even is?
  • What should you focus on?
  • How should you begin?

If you are asking yourself any of these questions (or you have other concerns you’d like to discuss), then this is the workshop for you.
