I Became Everything

College Essays written by the class of 2026.

When high school seniors prepare to write their college application essays, they are often asked to choose between a handful of prompts inquiring about moments of hope, challenge, or curiosity in their lives.

As you read through these pages, I encourage you to ask yourself the same questions: What inspires me? What challenges me? What do I dream of becoming?
