    Girl THANK U SO MUCH. Personally, I struggle with my writing because I still haven't found my "voice". College essays/personal statements are scary because I'm now put to the test of representing myself through writing!! This technique is really helpful bc it strips it all down to the bare bones so you have a reliable structure/foundation. Thanks so much!!

      Ahh thank you!! I am so glad this is helping you out! Yes it’s definitely tricky to capture your essence in your essay but ensuring you have a solid structure helps :)

    The best tip is using a structure. Although trying to tie it into a theme for the college app is still tricky. My advisor definitely helped me get rid of random stuff in my essay and tie it back to my supplements, activities, and everything else.

    thank you so much for this. I scrapped three personal statements and kept on wondering what went wrong; all of them just felt really off and had a robotic feel to it. I realized that it’s because I jumped to the word-vomit stage without writing down my values + bullets, or establishing a structure. I’m really glad that I started binging your videos because I’m going to scrap my draft once again and start over using your outline. Thank you so much 🥺
