Martha’s Vineyard
College Admissions Essay Workshops
Celebrating the Eighth Year on the Vineyard!
- August 15/16
“The Ambience was perfect,” says Tanya Lewis in describing her son’s experience at
Write for the Future’s College Admissions Essay Writing Workshop on Martha’s Vineyard. “Students were busily working on their assignments in a beautiful and tranquil environment free of distraction – perfect for inspiration and creativity. Prior to the workshop, Lance did not like writing and his work reflected his aversion. However, Lance was completely engaged in the workshop and in fact did not want to stop working when I came to pick him up!”

“You are to be congratulated for fine-tuning your workshops and training sessions to the needs of each student. My boys approached the college process very differently and you were able to appeal to them individually and successfully. Jordan is thriving at Trinity College and Brody is thoroughly enjoying George Washington University, Different kids, different schools, mutual success! Thanks for your hard work, dedication and commitment to enhancing the opportunities for young people – and their parents to transition to a wonderful new phase of family life. Write for The Future provided our family with a way to bridge the communications gap between our desires for the future of our children and the desires our children have for their futures. We, like many other parents exposed our boys to travel, culture, art, science, sports and financial training. We, like many other parents worked hard to assist, goad, prod and frankly nag our children to consider their interests and to investigate colleges that provided ways to reinforce those interests. However, when the time came to write the essays to complete the Common Application, we found success by turning to Write for the Future!”
– Vickee Jordan Adams
Mother of Brody and Jordan Adams
