Week of September 7- September 10

College, college, and more college. This week we continued to focus on our college applications and understand the concepts of writing a good essay. We started off the week by trying to write an intro paragraph of a college essay for someone else; although bragging about someone else is easier than bragging about yourself, many people found it hard to start their paragraphs. On Wednesday we skyped with Ms. Nickows friend who used to help with the admissions at Vanderbilt University, and learned how to make you essay stand out from the hundreds of other applications that the school has received. On top of that, we continued the college talk with our counselors on Thursday, but ended the week on a fun note by playing a game at the end of class on Friday.
