Essay writing workshop

Writing scholarship essays may not be the ideal way to spend a Friday night or Sunday afternoon. But remember that these essays can win you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for college. Try to keep this in mind when you feel burned out. If you really get down on writing take a break. Go outside. Watch some meaningless television. Then when you are refreshed get back to your essay.

In the next chapter are the actual essays that won the writers thousands of dollars in scholarships. At some point each of these writers got tired or disgusted and contemplated quitting. But each persevered and didn’t give up. They pushed ahead and finished their essays. If they had given up they would never have won the money that they did and that all important college diploma would have been a far more expensive (and for some impossible) accomplishment.
