Thank you to CKS alums Ahmad and Ayasha for discussing the @questbridge application with some of our students! Ahmad and Ayesha (CKS ‘19 and ‘20) are attending @pomonacollege and @stanford on full scholarships . Pro college personal statement tip: Keep your story authentic! Students always struggle with what to write, and the bottom line isit doesn’t matter! As long as it’s an authentic story that shows who you are (and through that, what you will bring to their school a...nd community) the topic can be as mundane as (in Ayesha’s words) sparkling water. Are you creative? Innovative? Curious? Organized? Meticulous? A dreamer? Someone who will challenge norms? A leader? A doer? Thoughtful? An athlete? An artist? A dreamer? A person who failed and learned from it? A person who learned and grew from a totally ordinary experience? Whatever it is, and no matter how ordinary your story is, if it is authentic and tells the reader more who you genuinely are, it will shine through! #cityofknowledge #cityofknowledgeschool #islamicschool #collegeadmissions #collegeessay #questbridge #questbridgescholar #questbridgematch

That feeling when you ask a 4-year-old to draw a representation of what makes him happy and he gives you a representation of a popular scientific theory related to the extinction of a species. #cityofknowledge #cityofknowledgeschool #islamicschool #distancelearning #onlinelearning #virtuallearning #dinosaurs #brachiosaurus
