What about it?  \n\nPick a point to your essay and write it.  Use what you've learned in class and away you go.  100 words is only like 10 sentences.  Not too hard.  Good luck to you.

The first thing you have to do is to make an outline, then start writing on each point, adding support sentences to your topic.\nAny essay begins with an introductory paragraph, at least two body paragraphs and a conclusion. Another thing if you does not have enough information about the topic do some research could be in interesting for this topic it would be int resting to know the point of view of a few people different ages I suggest

okay, here's a little technique i use when writing essay..and it's really easy once you get a hang of it..and i'll show it to you through step by step :]\n\nExample. Topic - is it appropriate for teenagers to have a computer in their room? (yeah i know it sucks but i'm just using it as an example..and let's say you think they shouldn't)\n\nnow, you should think in your head that your essay will be at least contain 5 paragraphs - 1 for introduction, 3 for the body of the essay, and 1 for conclusion.\n\nparagraph 1 - introduction - try to talk about how the computers and the internet have gotten so poppular these days and how much people love to spend time on it. Then at the end of the paragraph, point out the thesis which you think that teenagers should not allow to have a computer in their room - but one thing, try not to make it an announcement.\n\nnow you need to explain a few reasons why teenagers should not have a computer in their room in order to support your thesis..\n\nbody  - paragraph 1 - it's addicting and teenagers may end up spending a lot more time on the computer than what they really suppose to, other than doing their homeworks.\n\n        paragraph 2 -  people who spend a lot of time on the computers tend to get headaches and back pain as well as damage of the vision.\n\n        paragraph 3 - it causes lack of communication between the teenagers and their parents because teenagers tend to spend a lot of time in their room so they could access to the internet.\n\nlast paragraph - conclusion - well i think you already got the idea of how to write the conclusion but remember your conclusion paragraph needs to correspond with the introduction paragraph :]\n\ni hope this will help you a little more to understand how the body structure of an essay should look like. good luck :]

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

No, don't pay for someone to write it; those services are annoyingly cruddy.  i tried it once, and the essay I got was something a 2nd grader could have written.\n\nThe most you can do is to grit your teeth and start writing.  Don't worry, you'll get through it (unless you procrastinated, of course).  Just write in any free time you get.  carry your laptop around with you, and if you get spare time, open and type!

Get Straight A's\nHave extra curriculars\nBe a good person\nBe a genuine person whose personality they can see\nWrite a good entrance essay that shows who you are\n\nAll else fails having a lot of money helps.

Write about what you know. If you are given a choice of topic pick something that interests you. If you are genuinely interested in a topic you'll have a decent essay before you know it. If you have to write an essay about someone in history write it in the first person, pretend that you are them when you write. Then it sounds like a story than a boring summary of the book you read to get the information from. Hope this helps.

First of all what, specifically, does the college you are applying to ask for in the essay?\nIf you are expected to write about yourself and why you want to attend that college or major in a particular field -  then just be yourself.  Avoid saying what you think the college staff wants to hear (they get tired of all of that crap - and see through it).  Make sure that your essay is uniquely you.  Make sure that it is interesting enough that those reviewing it will actually completely read it.  Review it several times for errors.  Then let someone who knows you well read it and give you feedback.  \n\nI remember when my son was competing for Governor's honors in our state.  Most of the competition dressed out in dark suits and ties - and they had been coached on what to say and how to say it by their parents or teachers or even college "coaches". They memorized answers to questions. These young men and women were anxious and came across as "phony" - more like actors who memorized a script.  My son wore what he always wore to class, didn't prepare a speach and spoke from his heart.  In the end he was nominated  in 4 subjects- and the judges said that he was "authentic", "real", "enthusiastic", "a breath of fresh air" and "had a sparkle in his eyes about the subjects he was interested in - and could think on his feet".  Let you light shine.
