College Essay

This is it: your last take-home essay. This is it: your last chance to blog with your loving classmates. Just for tuning in, I'll remind you to keep your final essay to 500 words and that the purpose of this essay is to share a piece of yourself with your audience, a piece of yourself that breathes on the paper, a piece of yourself that pries apart the rigid similarities of your common application and screams "Pick me! Pick me!"

Oh, and don't forget to show what you've learned about writing this year. At play are:

• diction
  
• syntax
  
• rhetorical devices
  
• tone
  
• audience/purpose
  
• organization
  

Enjoy!
