You DON'T need to have changed the world - only to have lived.
No matter which schools you're applying to, writing your personal narrative and other college essays can be incredibly stressful. The good news is that it doesn't have to be. You have all the material you need inside you. As your personal coach, I help you find and effectively share it.
The process of writing the narrative leads you to learn about you: how specific experiences have shaped you and fostered personal growth, the impact your choices have had on your life and the lives of others (or the impact other's choices have had on you), your passions in life, why you truly want to attend your dream school, and why your dream school should want you. Not to mention your character, your values, and your unique vision.
