Jesus is King! If you do not know Jesus as Savior please pray, “ Jesus save me. At this moment I choose to have faith that You gave Your life for me and rose from the dead. Doing this You defeated death, even though it meant You had to die. You surrendered Your life for me, so I chose to surrender my life to You. Forgive me Jesus, my God. Amen.”
Jesus loves you so much. Please accept His love. I encourage you to read the Bible and pray.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son into this world, that whoever believes that in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
🙏❤️🙏
Jesus is enough!
Again I tell you, Jesus loves you!

did you?
You too!
My son was recently admitted to Top 30 NU. I did not read his essay in detail and I told him I was a little disappointed about his essay because his topic was sports (I read many blogs and they all said sport was bad idea). After watching this video, I might change my mind because his stat was not competitive. He wrote about the day I gave him a ball and said someday, we would play football together. For few years, he was among the best soccer players in the city and chosen for a national competition. Then, he had difficult time, failing and losing all motivations in life. It was his last game in the secondary school and we have family team (fathers, students) against other classes. After the game, he realized he did not need to become a superstar to be happy. The game reminded him about the first day he got a ball from me and he felt connection between us. Those helped him to stand up and motivated him to involve in community and to make impact. I changed my mind, maybe I should tell him about how much I was proud of him.
This is a wow piece, Dad. Best wishes to you and your children.
Perfect timing for these upcoming 5 days left...
Me :')
Upcoming 6 hours left 😩
@@MultiCrazybunch 5 hours left ;')
1 week left :(
Mood😭
Easy way I have found to begin an essay and get straight into it was using a personal anecdote. Tell a story about yourself briefly, could be one specific moment that caused you to introspect or great change etc. having this anecdote allowed me to branch off without getting off track and maintain a concise application
Did you mean anecdote in the intro?
Can you give as an example, please?
Three minutes in, and "wow" doesn't even sound like a real word anymore
you aren't wrong
I have been dying for last few months trying to write about myself
Christopher Ramos tbh deadlines are on Friday and my common app is still pending. This video came at the right time
Angela Wilson mine too. Still pending for essay :(
Angela Wilson LoL yep :)
Christopher Ramos yeah the common app essay’s hitting hard. Months I’ve looked at my screen thinking of essay ideas to no avail. Let’s hope deadline pressure helps us all in a productive way!
@@sidd8257 same
okay but how do i do that in 550-650 words
Have really good word economy. Don’t waste any space, be as efficient as possible
Avoid tautology
Class of 2022 where yall at?
every step I take makes it more and more difficult to apply to the US from India. Problems building up from everywhere. However, no one can stop me. I WILL DO IT! I HAVE TO! I CAN DO IT! WHATEVER IT TAKES!
“Wow” thank you so much for saying that you do not have to be wow to get into college. I have been stressing and stuck by thinking I have to make my essay perfect.
When the due date is in 6 days, and you still haven’t finished yet
Due date for what? Which universities?
@@ankitmehta4924 early admission/action
same but my dumbass forgot teacher recs existed and i haven’t even requested them. regular decision for me it is lol
Ezra Grant you can submit your apps without recommendations and your teachers can add them later as long as you assign them too the common app
@@ezragrant8710 ^^
I think you gave various AWESOME advice!!!!! This is not an easy thing to really stand out and apply to college. You hit all the points I needed to hear, now I have a much clear direction!!!
this channel is really helpful, you have shared many valuable insights. thank you
I'm literally keeping this video on replay trying to keep reemphasizing the ideas in my mind cus they are are so many good points they get lost along the way in the writing process.
Its SUPER important to keep looking back and stay on track.
This is something that I do after I write my essay. I pull out all the keywords that she talked about and turn it into a rubric. When you read your essay try to check the box as many as you can. Good luck!
such a great video. I will be using these tips for my college essay.
Absolutely love this video. For some weird reason i can understand every thing that she said.
I’m just finishing up my personal statement but I stop and dropped after seeing you uploaded this video 😃
watching this 4 hours before deadline
Already submitted most of my apps. Thanks for the advice though! 😊
Very impactful video. Number 7 especially hit hard!
This is awesome. Thank you!
When the due date is in two days and you're starting 🤪
did u get in??
you got in?
Did u get in 😭😭
I think it’s the best video on essay writing
Those were very good tips, thank you!
this is so helpful!!! I love this! Thx!!
Excellent video on writing essays for admissions to a college.
Any of my comrades from the class of 2022 here?
Thank you for this :)
These tips are brutally honest and so useful especially when mine due tomorrow for early action
lol what?, how are you going to manage my man. well goodluck 🙄🙄
Can you do a video about getting scholarships and more about financial aid and securing money for college?
Did u apply for fasfa
Brooke the BEST!
Extremely helpful video. I would definitely try to incorporate these elements and make them dance harmonically in my essay!
Great video!
Thank you for following up on my request Supertutor TV :)
Appreciate you teach’
you are awesome!!!!
Great video and well explained👏👏 madam..I dunno why I was wasting ma tym on other channels 😤🤭...new subscriber here😍❤️
Hello teacher, I'm student korea so your video very good and thanks.
You need to show that you're a skilled problem solver who's going to change the world.
Also, is it possible to ask you a question about my essay privately? I have an idea, but not sure if I need to narrow down my essay to a more specific topic.
Thank you!
Class of 2022?
8:23 wholesome content alert!!!
Brooke, do you recommend we use a narrative type essay for the “Why this college?” essay too?
It’s not something you need, but yes definitely (from my experience watching supertutor TV)
So timely Brooke!
I’m starting today and I’m screwed
For all my 4 UC personal insight questions, do you think that they all have to be narrative styled writing? Can I have only 2 be narrative style and the other 2 just be me looking back on things in the first person?
I would love to see a video on the under qualified the ones whose schools didn’t at the time have them proper resources to accommodate that person, the schools didn’t offer any extra curricular activities other then Band or track and you had to compete for those limited spots aka a crappy public school system in a low income area.
my college advisors wants it Friday, haven’t started... wish me luck! 😬
How'd it go?👀
Anyone taking the ACT tomorrow?
I love her videos, but always see a lot of haters in comments. Why???
taking attendance for class of 22
what do i do when i screwed up my junior year?
i have no idea what to write about
I'm writing an essay to get into college comp and I'm not the best at writing yo my stress has never felt like this before.
wait do we pick one of those points or do you recommend doing all those things in one essay?
Hello! Can you help me to write an essay with title "Science teaching and learning in school: implications for popular scientific communication.
Is there any way to get our essays reviewed from you
11:51 Oop gotta rethink on that one.
class of 2021 with only two weeks left ;)))))))
im not good at writing so I just wrote about the biggest hardship I went through in my life so it was really easy to write but I dont know if it was gonna enough lol
For University Of Michigan's Math and Science Scholars, the prompt for the essay is "Personal Statement explaining why you believe you are well-suited for the MMSS program and how you hope to benefit from it." How do I go about writing this essay without being too cliche or too boring? Do you use a story for a personal statement? Any help would be really great!
It’s been 3 years. How did your application process go? What did you end up writing about?
6:49 That quote hit kinda different ngl
if I took the lyrics in nf new song clouds and put them in my essay would that work
Pls
Make a video about "How to get a full ride scholarship ? "
Loads of people have videos on this just search it up!!
i luv u brooke
11:51 She meant it from her heart lmao. U can see shes done with life.
was just bout to comment this
How can I figure out what I have to offer the world?
they r only abstract before writing. but once u have an essay, watch this video again to check if u r on the right rack
What if I'm already downtrodden?
do these values and visions have to be necessarily true?
Hello ! Class of 2021.
Is it a bad idea to write about my diagnosis of High functioning autism and being bullied then depressed but I come out on the bright side by proving people wrong with three labels and upholding leadership positions and wanting to now major in early education and special education to help kids with severe special needs
Another way to rephrase #10 is "show, don't tell"

Hi! I'm from the UK, and I'm looking to apply to Colleges in the US? I'm currently in the American equivalent of Grade 9. I'd like to know if you have any advice or know anything about international students. To apply do I have to do the SAT? And what sorts Extracurriculars would you encourage? Because, in the UK. Extracurriculars aren't as important as in the US.
Also, is it better to take the ACT or the SAT?or do I fake both?
Yes you have to take SAT/ACTto apply. Do any extracurriculars you like or passionate to do never fake that
Night X Light I’m from saudi arabia and I just got graduated, My highschool score is 99.6 can just do the IELTS test instead of the sat test because we don’t have it here but I would gladly do it because (I’m a nerd) but like were
Where*
Hi, can I email you my essay so that you can check it?
Hi! I'm gonna talk about how I couldn't accomplish my dream to become a pilot due to financial reasons and how I didn't let this affect me by giving a just about my maturity. Do you think it's a good essay?
Is writing an essay related to MUN too cliche? Is it possible to stand out with it? Do lots of people write about it and how it changed them?
😬😬please tell me how this worked out if you did end up writing it
this is actually what i want to write about too did you ever write about MUN if so did you get into like your top schools with it?
Did it work?
@@nneomax9358 How did it go?
@@ukeera2549 perfectly got into schools like nyu,barnard,uni of rochester with that essay
0/69 Not “World of Warcraft” acronym
Guys, I am an international student. And currently I'm working on my essay. It's about how I was miserable all the time moaning about my life. At that time there were happening lots of dreadful stuff. Diagnosed spine problems. My family was broke. And we did need to be frugal. And I was mournful and sometimes I wanted to commit suicide. But I overcome it by learning English, and that changed me. Because of English I stopped dwelling on problems around me and by the time they wore off. I discovered lot of things for myself as well. Learning gave me motivation to learn and do many other things. So now I am an upbeat person. So now I know Turkish. Also I am learning French. From English my multilingual way started. Now because of English I became better. What do you think about this essay?
Sounds good dude. Best of luck!
@@takeinventory7837 Really? Thanks for your response, I needed it.
