The Personal or College Essay

Although writing a college essay may seem like a daunting task, we will go through the process step by step in class.  Even if you are not applying to college, writing a personal essay is a good exercise in learning to present yourself to future employers who may want to know a little bit more about you. It is also a great way to preserve a significant memory or simply reflect on your life.
