[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid like this. What works for us: Most “self reflection” questions are what job interviews call “STAR” questions. Tons of resources online. Use the STAR outline. “S” is for situation, help brainstorm situations. Useful skill for future job interviews too, which helped my kid see this as not just a weird college application skill. Once you have your situation, set a timer. 15 minutes to draft the essay, complete with a “finish your sentence” and “pencils down.” Getting something on paper is the hardest part. From there on it’s just editing. [/quote]
