Recruited athlete essay

I’m oten a reluctant writer, so I will share what gets me going.

Write your essays tonight! Just sit down and write. Just put something down on paper. Be done and walk away.

No, those aren’t your final essays. But they will make you think. When you’re in bed or driving, your going to have some “I should have said…” Moments. Jot these down (phones are great for this) whenever you have them.

Research the school. Make a list of “things I like, things I’m interested in”.

Give it 2-3 days. Now go back and rewrite your essays. Incorporate what you’ve learned about the school. You may be starting from scratch or doing some very heavy editing to incorporate the “things I should have said”. Your working draft will probably look nothing like what you started with. But the hardest part is getting started and just putting down something on paper will get you going.

Continue to revise until you think it’s pretty good and then ask for input and editing help.
