What People Are Saying:

I am glad that I took this essay camp. The class left me with essays that I feel proud of you and am excited to show colleges. Dr. Colon’s input and writing method was instrumental in helping me to write essays that would grab the reader’s attention and leave an impression. Her class gave me one less thing to stress about.

Amalya, Bishop Montgomery High School

To seniors that haven’t taken this class, I encourage you to do so. The writing coaches really taught me how to put my thoughts and memories onto paper, as well as expand a small idea. It was a good experience that I think every student should have.

Alex, St. Paul HS

This class taught me to express myself in a way I never really knew how. By sticking to "why" I value certain things in my life. All seven of my essays describe who I am and what I value, instead of some story or something I experienced. I think that's so important for colleges to know.
