Next Episode: Ep. 19 - Starting with A Great Admissions Essay Topic: How you can help your student with their essay

In this episode, edited from an hour-long workshop for high school students, Jen talks about the Hero's Journey as a framework for thinking about your essay topic and how to write an interesting and compelling essay. Students can use this framework for college admissions or scholarships. We also tell you what the two questions are that every admissions office is asking and what they're looking for in your application to help them make their decision. By the time you're done listening, you'll know why it's important for your students to incorporate their trials, treasures, and transformation into their essays, and some tips on how to make that happen.
