I was teaching College Essay Bootcamp at St. John Bosco back in 2018 or 2019 when a young man, Cole, introduced me to spearfishing. By day two, he was stuck and wasn’t sure how to improve the essay. 

His first sentence read like a typical English paper topic sentence. 

Wrong. 

But, what it revealed were the three lessons he learned from spearfishing. 

Aha.

Now we're onto something. 

In my quick scribbles I wrote out each word he used in the topic sentence, leaving space between each. Resourceful, Persistence, and Patience. 

I gave him instructions on what to do next and he was coachable. 

One of our expert essay coaches, Dina, helps walk you through the genius of this essay.

I think you’ll love it!!
