26: How to Write About Hardship and Trauma in Your College Essay
Manage episode 434502264 series 3496517
Join Stacey and Becca as they discuss strategies for writing essays about hardship that emphasize positive qualities that will empower you to succeed in higher education, rather than relying on common platitudes. They also touch on the pressure many marginalized students feel to “sell their pain” by sharing traumatic stories in their college essays and offer advice on how to avoid writing about challenges that may read as trivial to admissions.
