Essay help!!!?

Hi, I want to go to college…I really do, but I need help with the required admission essays. Can anyone help me come up with ideas or give me websites to go to with good examples and stories.

Topic A

Write an essay in which you tell us about someone who has made an impact on your life and explain how and why this person is important to you.

Topic B

Choose an issue of importance to you—the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope—and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.

For Topic A I want to write about my swim coach and how she supported me and pushed me. But I want to here your ideas too.

i think writing about your swim coach is an excellent idea. Make sure to mention how she has made you into a better person both athletically and morally. Don’t forget- stating some of your own flaws (maybe like if you werent as motivated before you met your swim coach, but she helped you change that or something) is not a bad thing too. Colleges like to see that you’re human and that you’re honest.

Sorry, Swim Demon, but if you’re using this for an admission essay, it truly HAS to be your own work. If someone helps you on this, and you get in, but can’t perform to that level once you are admitted, you are really going to be in trouble.

Do the best you can on this – and PLEASE spell check your essay before you turn it in!

It sounds as though your coach is an excellent example – and when you discuss her, be specific in the ways in which she helped you, challenges she helped you overcome, and things she helped you to achieve that you never thought you would be able to do.

Specificity and a wealth of details are what make these essays come alive.

good luck to you.

I totally agree with the previous entries. It has to be your work and your ideas. If you can’t make it on your own to get in you won’t make it once you are in.
