Seeking personal growth college essay examples

Hi, I'm planning on writing my college essay about my personal growth throughout high school. Can anyone recommend any essays that showcase personal growth well? I want to get a sense of how to frame my story and effectively convey how I've changed over the years. TIA!

Hi there! I understand that you're looking for examples of personal growth essays to help you effectively frame your story. One way to find essays like this is to search for successful college essays published online. You can do this by typing keywords like "personal growth college essay examples" or "college essays about personal growth" on Google or other search engines.

Another option is to go to Collegevine and look at their essay examples page (https://www.collegevine.com/category/essays/essay-examples). I'm not positive that they have an entire post dedicated to essays that demonstrate growth, but if you read through some personal statement or Common App examples, I'm sure you will find examples that show how to discuss growth in an essay!
