How it works

  1. Tell your story

    Rough notes about what happened and why it matters to you.

  2. Add the prompt

    Paste the question and pick a word limit, from 250 to 1000. Choose a voice, like Heartfelt or Humble.

  3. Revise it yourself

    Ask for more reflection or a stronger opening, then rework it in your own words.

An example

Your story and experiences

parents run a laundromat, i worked there every weekend since 12 learned to fix the machines, talking to customers want to study mechanical engineering prompt: describe a challenge you overcame, 250 words

Your draft

My parents run a laundromat, and since I was twelve I've worked there every weekend. At first that meant folding and talking with customers. Over time it meant something else. When a machine broke, I wanted to know why. I learned to fix them one repair at a time. Each fix taught me how parts work together, and how much a small mechanical problem can disrupt someone's day. That's why I want to study mechanical engineering. I already know I like understanding how things work and making them work again. College is where I want to learn to design them.

Then make it yours

  • Stronger opening
  • More reflection
  • Tie to goals
  • Sound more like me
  • Cut to limit
  • Try again
