I don't know what to write in my essay 😭 it's so overwhelming

Hi Kevin, I can't the comment to reply under this video so I am putting it here only, I hope you will notice. It helped me to learn the importance of balancing PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS aspects in my essays, using specific and unique details, crafting a distinctive voice, connecting the beginning and ending to emphasize core themes and keywords, demonstrating intellectual curiosity and personal growth, and providing context for acronyms. This is I think I learned from this video.

I love these walkthroughs! Unfortunately, didn't have enough time to submit for this post, but I'm eagerly waiting for the next free :) personal essay post, and definitely will be seeking you out for supplementals and such. Thanks for all you do ❤

Hi Kevin!! I'm an international student and I've been struggling to put together my Common App essay, but your videos are SO helpful!. This particular video really helped me understand the problem I had with the eureka problem and the problem-solution ratio. Your advice on how to end the essay was really helpful as well and I will definitely implant it in my essay. I would love to hear your input and take on my essay! I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but given the fact I have no one to help me with my application (it's not very common to apply to US universities where I live), it would be extremely helpful if you could take a look at my essay

Hi friends! It's happening again! From now until September 28th, we will be reviewing YOUR supplemental and UC essays for free!

If you are comfortable having me workshop your common app essay in a RU-vid video, I would be more than happy to do it completely free for you (we will anonymize your names of course!)! 😊😊😊

I’ve always told my students your responsibility as a writer is to make the reader either laugh, cry, or go hmmmmmm

hey Kevin, these essay videos are my absolute favourite! You've mentioned dfferent templates throughout the video ('wheather, or ' template, 'double problem solution' ). D'you have separate videos or resoures available for that?
