- Task one: Write for at least 10 minutes (a full page) about a personal essay prompt.
- …if you don’t have specific one for your school/program, pick one of these, from the Common App. You need to write a personal essay, even if you're not applying to a college that requires an essay! Remember, these are broad, so focus just on telling a story that is interesting/important:
- Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
- Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?
- Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
- Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
- Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
- This list of prompts, and the Common App itself,
- Task two: Make a list of 5 coming of age movies you’ve seen (about a character who grows/journeys/changes), and 5 you want to see—get recommendations!
- Read your independent book!
