Your future self will thank you. Start creating your story today.

The truth is, having good grades and standard extracurriculars just isn’t enough anymore.

 

Top colleges see thousands of “leaders” and “volunteers” every year but what they’re really looking for is initiative, creativity, and impact. Without something that makes you memorable, your application risks blending in with the rest.

This can lead to:

 

  • Generic essays that could belong to anyone

  • Missed opportunities for recommendation letters that brag about something amazing you built

  • That “if only I’d done more” feeling when results come in 

Most students learn how to join a club or volunteer somewhere but never how to create something entirely their own that stands out in a sea of applications. It’s not your fault you don’t know how to turn an idea into a project that grabs attention. No one teaches this in school.

The good news? Standing out isn’t about luck.  It’s about strategy.

 

The truth is, when you master the strategy of designing, launching, and leading a unique passion project, you unlock one of the most powerful tools in college admissions. It becomes your signature story and the one that makes your application unforgettable and ensures admissions officers remember your name.

What Other Student Are Saying About This Course

"This course made the process feel doable. I’ve gone from having no ideas to organizing a charity basketball tournament.”

"I didn’t think I had anything unique to share in my college applications but now I’ve got a project underway that I’m proud of and a story that will make me stand out."

“Holden isn’t just a teacher. He’s your hype man, strategist, and guide.”

Meet Holden!

 

During high school, I realized quickly that everyday activities weren’t going to make me stand out. Living in a small town, unique opportunities weren’t readily available, so I became determined to create my own. 

Leaning heavily on mentors, employers, and others within my network, I was able to craft unique events that drew huge community support, grossed tens of thousands of dollars, and gave me the perfect stories for my college essays.

Now, I want to help you do the same. Think of me as your biggest cheerleader and your behind-the-scenes strategist. I’m here to guide you through each step, celebrate your wins, and make sure your project becomes something you’re proud to show off to admissions officers.
