    My kids struggle with writing in general and I know next year when its time time write essays, we are going to be needing a lot of help.

    It's such an overwhelming process. My son is a junior and I think has decided on a local tech school. But my daughter wants to go to college. She is sophomore and we are just starting the process. It's so overwhelming. Even deciding if it's better to take AP classes or dual enroll for her junior and senior years.

    @RachGupt Same here! The writing is intimidating for my student as well. Would love to hear any tips that are working for your students.

    @mo_33671 not much that we have tried yet but in preparation for college essays next year, I pulled some essay prompts from this year and am hoping to have my twins work on writing those essays during summer break so they get a feel for it.
