What if the best college essay your student ever writes is hiding in an ordinary summer? In this episode, Kristi breaks down how a single summer experience — a job, a trip, a creative project, or even a season of quiet caregiving — becomes the foundation of a college essay that actually sounds like the student who wrote it. You'll learn:
• Why "unimpressive" summers often produce the strongest essays
• The three-part anatomy of every great college essay (and how to apply it to your own experience)
• A real example: how a student turned a plant nursery job into a standout Common App essay
• Three journal prompts students can use this week to start mining their summer for essay material
• A direct word to parents about the most powerful thing they can do right now

What does a great college-prep summer actually look like — and does the answer change depending on where your student wants to apply? In this episode, we walk through two versions of the same student's summer: one optimized for highly selective schools, and one perfectly suited for a great-fit college at any tier. Neither path is wrong — but intentionality is non-negotiable. You'll learn:
• What highly selective schools are actually looking for in summer activities
• Why a part-time job and consistent service can be just as powerful as a prestigious program
• The one question every student should be able to answer before September
• A special word for globally mobile and expat families navigating an unconventional summer
