One of the best ways to learn how to write a winning essay is to read other student's effective essays.
Not only can you glean ideas for your own topics, but also learn the style, format and voice of these slice-of-life essays.

All these students shared their unique stories, and in the process revealed their personalities, character, passions and dreams.
