It's time to Self Reflect

2016 is the year of awakening and right now there is talk of reforming college admissions requirements (see Frank Bruni and summary of Harvard Report). To make the admissions process less stressful, several items are on the table for discussion. Maybe more colleges will make ACT and SAT exams optional. Maybe they’ll reduce expectations around the AP course load. Maybe they’ll add essay topics to help students say more about the casual things they do in life.  While I think this may help a bit, I don’t think it solves the real problem. The real problem – what nobody is saying – is that students need to feel that their lives are WAY MORE FUN and WAY MORE MEANINGFUL.

This is the gap I want to help fill. I’m going to free myself, get funky and maybe even a bit wonky. And I hope to be doing this with you.

There is freedom and power in self-reflection. Developed as early as possible in the high school years, self reflection reduces stress and greatly simplifies the college application process. The earlier you can discover the essence of who you are – what is important to you and what you want – the easier life becomes. By knowing yourself, you can make clearer choices, including your course selection in high school, your extracurricular activities, the colleges that you’ll apply to, the majors you’ll explore. Self-reflection will lead you to more meaning and more fun in life; it will release the deepest pockets of stress.

So in the spirit of awakening in 2016, I am offering an online writing course that teaches self-reflection. Creative Self-Reflection guides you to build self-knowledge, self-definition, and confidence. You’ll learn how to explore and express yourself easily with writing and you’ll be able to apply what you gain from this knowledge to all aspects of your life, but especially in your writing assignments for high school and college, and in the 30 plus essays you’ll write for your college applications.
