Personal Statement Workshop with Susanna Horng and Penguin Random House

About the Event

Come join us for a fun, hands-on workshop all about the personal statement. Whether you’re applying to college, scholarships, or fellowships, this session will help you tell your story in a way that really stands out.

We’ll talk about what makes the personal statement different from other essays and show you a fresh, creative way to approach it. You’ll brainstorm opening lines to help find your topic, start drafting your statement, and get helpful feedback through active listening. We’ll also go over some key do’s and don’ts, and look at real examples to see what works.

It’s a great chance to reflect, write, and get your personal statement off to a strong start. Hope to see you there!
