Personal Statement

Hi all -

By Thursday you should have a draft of your personal statement.  I am requesting that all of you respond to the Freshman Applicant Prompt for the UC schools.  (It will be useful regardless if you apply to UCs or not.)

The prompt is as follows:
Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community, or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.  

Verbal vomit all over.  It is necessary.

And create a Google Folder for all items college related. Trust me.

We will be writing and working on drafts in class so come prepared.  I'll show examples and give tips that you can take or leave.

On Friday, TED Talks start for periods 3 - 7 so beeeeeeee ready.

There's no such thing as luck - just preparedness and opportunity intersecting.

xoxo

  1. Perhaps the luck is the fact that you had an opportunity while you were prepared.
    Of course by "you" I mean everyone.
