GEMS: My intent is that the essay will show  

  • Growth

  • Effectiveness

  • Meaningfulness

I developed an approachable process that makes the college essay manageable and less stressful. 

  1. Extract the nugget: BRAINSTORMING.  This lesson offers successful strategies for unearthing the best topic for your personal statement.

  2. The GEM takes form: ORGANIZATION.  This lesson offers two distinct outlines for creating a reader friendly, organized essay.

  3. Polishing the GEM: EFFECTIVENESS. Checking for effectiveness.  Does the essay have your voice?  Is your story intact?  Are you revealing your defining characteristics?  

  4. Setting the Stone:  FINE-TUNING.  Punctuation, grammar, etc!

  5. Priceless:  Last look to decide if it is a GEM!
