College essay..just a little help to get me started? |
ok college essay time most colleges have pretty general topics so you can write about pretty much anything. Im a photographer(photo journalism) and the colleges im apply to are the few that offer photography as a major. and my essay choices are 1 describe a significant experience or achievement that has meaning to you or 2 discuss your goa for the future and how our college can assist you in reaching them. just need somes tips of where to start maybe ideas of what you are/ have done for essays that might make an idea pop into my head....thanx in advance For Option 1: Have you ever taken a photograph that really spoke volumes? For example, something unharmed amidst a disaster ... a poignant shot of an elderly person ... something that when you developed it, even you said "WOW!!" You could insert a copy of the photograph into the essay and describe the circumstances surrounding it and all the emotions it brought out in you. Tell why you think it is a thought-provoking photograph. From there, explain what your own personal mission is with your photography. For Option 2: Think! What ARE your goals for the future? What DO you want to do with photojournalism? Make a list of those 2 things and once you have your list down, refined and sounding mature, consider what are the steps necessary for you to achieve it and make a list of those. How can attending THIS college, where photo journalism is a degree plan, help you to achieve those goals? What do you believe you need that you are currently lacking to obtain from higher education to enable you to be a better photo journalist? Now, lay it on thick about why you want admission into that particular school .. you've heard great things about it; it's your understanding that they have the best photojournalism degree plan and the best is what you want. Hope that help some.. I would describe a significant experience or achievement that has meaning to you. To write about what the college can do to help you reach your goals is to write about something you don't know yet. Think about where you want to take your career. Don't think about financial or logistical limitations, instead focus on what sparked your interest in this field in the first place. Ask yourself what motivated you to choose this field. Do you want to travel? Were you lured in by the exotic pictures and stories of other photojournalists? Do you want to work for National Geographic, or the New York Times, or even Time magazine? Were you inspired by a movie, article, or personal account of a photojournalist? Try to find the beginning of this dream. |
