College admission essay; the first impression of you
The thought of writing a college admission essay would be enough to make many people break in to sweat. In fact, It is completely normal to feel intimidated at the task ahead of you. But with careful preparation and with help from all the services available to you you would be able to take the sting out of the task and make it more enjoyable.
There are many sites devoted to college admission essays on the world wide web, and a search of the keywords through a search engine would prove to be fruitful. Though you would be able to grasp the basic idea of the essay from these, you would have to keep in mind that the originality and therefore the acceptability of your essay would lie within what you yourself can produce and nothing else.
Always remember to relax your mind before starting to write. Tensed up about the task ahead would not help you any better in writing. First take a deep breath. Collect your thoughts and start brainstorming. Write every idea that comes to your mind without interruption for a few minutes. Do not pause to think whether your ideas seem stupid or not. It would certainly put your mind at ease when you realize that some original ideas are there among the jumble you have written down.
You can start expanding the ideas that seem relevant immediately afterwards, making sure you form a good structure while writing, for nothing could get your essay rejected than writing without proper structure. Also keep in mind that honesty in a college admission essay would be regarded a must. So be open and state the facts of your life accurately.
Try not to make yourself too familiarized of your college admission essay. It would make you blind to the obvious errors you have made if you know it top to bottom and back again. So the most advisable approach would be to leave it for two or three days and read it again from an outsider's viewpoint trying to find errors as much as possible.
Finally, show your essay to some one else. Some of the good choices will be educational professionals and people who write well. Yet it is to be remembered at all times, that advice from them need not be taken as rules carved upon stone. You yourself are responsible for your essay. So you should be in command of what you write; accepting only advice on structure and grammar you have been given along the way.
