Think About Your Writing - Student Brag Sheet

Student Brag Sheet

Recently I filled out something called a “student brag sheet.” When applying to colleges the counseling office gives you forms to fill out in order for your counselor to recommend you to a school. In the sheet I am to follow a series of questions and respond to them in essay form. The questions are asking about my strengths and weaknesses as a student, my aspirations for college, etc. When responding to the questions I am quite serious - as the results go towards an essay going to my future college. I make sure to say positive qualities that I posse, what I have accomplished, and how I plan to do well.  I want to seem like a interested and motivated student who wants to succeed. When writing this I take a positive and selling position, as I am selling myself as a student.

I believe my position is very clear. I am clear and answer each question, making sure that I sound good as a student (while being truthful). I want to make sure that the counselor can vouch as to what kind of student I am.
