They have been doing it for years. They can put together a clear paragraph and tell a story that makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What slows them down is something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not sure what the essay is supposed to do, or what they want it to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time we get into July, a lot of students have opened a document, read through the prompts, and maybe started something. Then it stalls. Not because they can\u2019t write, but because they don\u2019t know if they are heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I see it play out a few different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some students try to cover too much. They bring in multiple activities or experiences and try to fit everything into one essay. It feels like they are saying a lot, but it is not especially clear what they want the reader to take away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others pick a topic and describe it well, but stay pretty close to the surface. You understand what happened, but you don\u2019t really get a sense of how they think or what changed for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are students who just sit there at the beginning, because they know this matters and they don\u2019t want to get it wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of that comes back to the same issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are trying to write before they have decided what they are trying to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admissions offices already have the transcript. They already have the activity list. The essay is one of the few places where a student can add context and help someone understand how they approach things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is not something most students have had to do before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The students who move through this more smoothly usually take a step back before they start writing and ask a few simple questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do I actually want someone to understand about me after they read this?<br>How does this connect to the rest of my application?<br>What does this show that is not already obvious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once they have some answers there, the writing part tends to go a lot better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If those answers are not clear, the draft usually goes in circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a rising senior in Waukesha, Watertown, Shorewood, or nearby communities and the essay is not moving forward, it is worth looking at it from that angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is probably not a writing problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a clarity problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is the point in the summer where it is still easy to step back and fix that before everything else starts to compete for their time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are college essays so hard to start?
