Hello.
There is no homework this evening. I am working hard to resolve the textbook issue. We should be up and running by this weekend. I apologize to those who did not receive the book today.
We will definitely work with "Meany" tomorrow.
We have a great (and very informative) presentation from Mr. Henkel on Friday, so be sure to get to class on time.
Finally, college essays. It is imperative that you begin thinking about the college essay. This is an important task and one that requires a great deal of effort on your part. We will start the process in class and meet periodically to discuss your papers. You should begin thinking about some topics. What do your chosen schools require? What kind of essay do you plan to write? Begin to jot down stories and anecdotes that aid in painting a complete picture of who you are? Even the best resumes often conceal one's finest qualities. Who/what has been inspirational in your life? While the college essay is only a small part of your application package it can be a wonderful tool for revealing the intangible qualities you posses. These essays allow colleges to see you as a living, breathing human being who is interesting, unique, and as someone who will be an extraordinary addition to the intellectual community. In short, take some time to think about who you really are and what has really helped shape your development as a human being. Bring some ideas with you to class tomorrow.
Have a good night.
