<human>:  I'm going to be applying to college soon, and I need some help writing my application essay, can you give me some guidance?
<bot>: Sure, I can help. Before you begin writing your college application essay, take some time to brainstorm and decide what you want to focus on. Think about experiences you have had or lessons you have learned that demonstrate your strengths, interests, and values. You should also look at essay prompts for sample ideas and inspiration. When you start to write, be sure to answer the essay question directly and explain why it is meaningful to you. Make sure to keep your tone positive, highlight your accomplishments, and be sure to include specific details that make your essay unique. Lastly, ask someone who knows you well to read and give you feedback on your essay. Good luck!
