Critical Thinking Skills & College Essay--seminar summary

How can we write a unique college essay? The answer lies in realizing how we all are born with such unique environments as family, school, and community. Then, we need to brainstorm the time and place where we find ourselves most memorable.

Next, we need to ponder in what areas of values we find ourselves most comfortable--truth, beauty, and virtue. We humans are born with goals and problems since our lives are not predetermined. We seek the goals based on the values we cherish. We prioritize the seriousness of the problems based on the values on which we put higher priority. The goals and problems are the two sides of the same coin. In order to write a good college essay, we ourselves should know what values we esteem most in reflection of the goals and problems of the events or issues we identify through the brainstorming.

Finally, the skills of brainstorming should be learned and the critical thinking skills of distilling values from the goals and problems need to be applied. Also, the detailed and concise writing style is highly recommended.
