You know, we can think of two situations when you might be asked to write a life changing experience essay. The first situation is when you get this task from your teacher, and it is just another school assignment. The second situation is writing such essay on a life changing experience as a part of your college application essay.
By the way, no matter what particular situation you face, there is one common thing about them. What we mean is the principle of completing life changing experience essays, because in other words such kind of papers are called reflective essays. You are supposed to reflect your past experience.
Anyway, we are ready to provide useful tips for writing essays on life changing experience in both situations.
If you are completing your teacher’s task
Most probably, the teacher just wants to check your writing skills one more time, especially skills of writing reflective essays. Here is a brief plan you can use to prepare your life changing experience essay.
- Decide on the event, which you will discuss in the life changing experience essay.
- Think why it was important, because you will have to explain this reasonably in your life changing experience essay.
- Write your paper, which should include the following: what your life was like before the event, what exactly happened, how it changed your existence.
If you are writing an application essay
Basically, in this second situation you may use the plan we have described above. Yet, there is one important aspect to keep in mind when writing life changing experience essays as a part of application. The event you will describe should somehow relate to the chosen school and major.
