Summer is a great time for rising seniors to write their personal essay for college applications. Mentors 4 College offers a free, online essay writing workshop. One mentor is an English teacher who created the workshop and offers his time to give students feedback on draft essays as they are going through the workshop. The workshop is self-paced and guides students to complete 1 or 2 essays. Often, students need to include an essay for admissions or scholarship applications.
