College application conundrum

Sep 28, 2010 by Paula

I promised my mom that when I went away to college I’d still help my little brother apply for colleges. I totally took the task on myself last year and my mom has no idea how to navigate all the online college applications. So I’m finding out a lot of information for my brother about all of this.

I’m constantly sending him links to online applications through my satellite wireless internet so he can get ahead of the game. I already told him that he needs to start writing essays and am encouraging him to get started on them ASAP before he really needs to start studying for classes this semester.

He even found that for a few schools he can use the same essays over again so it’s less work in the end, after all. That essay’s topic is about his favorite painting ever and he chose to write about one that our grandma painted of her childhood home, a farmhouse out in the country.

I’m helping him edit it and I think that it’s going to be great!
