fantastic..agree. he is so calming. I think there are chimes playing in the background. I heard about the Essay Guy but foolishly dismissed and now I am kicking myself. HE IS GREAT.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you. :)
Thank you for sharing this resource. It really helps develop a compass for both writing and/or creating your HS portfolio.
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
The crunch at 3:53 made me jump
Oops!
i dont know why but i got a bit emotional hewww
They don't call 'em "personal" statements for nothing. :)
Wow. Simply amazing
Glad you like it!
Me when I get to the top 3 values and they are Money, Power, and Status. Why are those options!! How can I write an essay about that..... ;-;
I bet you can make some uncommon/unexpected connections between these values.
music
efficiency
productivity
decisiveness
love
knowledge
leadership
personal development
self-expression
freedom
Thanks for sharing!
well all this gave me was a mental breakdown
Thanks for this video. It's so helpful!!
But what if i have so many values that i don't know what to focus on?
Hi there! Try to focus on the values that are showing up for you TODAY.
What do you mean when you said "how does it manifest in your life??" I don't understand this question :)
What I mean to say is-- How do you demonstrate or practice this value in your life?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hey! The workshop and the course are not available now! How do I know how to turn these exercises into my essay?😢
Hi there! The course actually is available! Check it out: www.collegeessayguy.com/college-essay-courses
For this exercise, is it for values you have or values you aspire to have?
For the sake of the essay writing process, it's typically easier to write about values you already have and can show clear examples of in your life. Hope this helps!
mine is all one essence, but I can't put it into words. Why does this feel like therapy?
Does it matter if I've narrowed it down to one concept, but not to one word?
Nope! Values don't have to be one word! Sounds like you're on the right track.
If you connect two moments from the es- *mic dies*
Woops!
is this just for the personal statement?
Not necessarily! Feel free to use it to brainstorm for other types of writing too. :)
