<p>For these essays, do you usually want to write about specific events in your life or would you just tell the college why their environment/resources would help you thrive there? If the essay is only around 250-300 words, would you even have room to write about an event? Does anyone know any sample essays of this type for reference?</p>

<p>My kids wrote the traditional bit about #1,what the school could offer them and #2,what they could offer the school. It's to show the school that you understand something about them and that you fit there;an opportunity to show how much you like the school and why. IMHO ,they really just want you to show that you have really learned about their school.</p>
