Since it is not proper to use first or second tense in an essay, you could say "the author."  Be sure to back up your opinions with facts or research.

The content of the essay is not as important as its structure. The generic form for an essay is:\n\n1. Introduction/ thesis\n2. Supporting point 1\n3. Supporting point 2\n4. Supporting point 3\n5. Conclusion\n\nSo basic idea:\nIntro: I have high expectations of this course, I'm excited to take it , etc.\nThesis: Overall though, my expectation is that this course will make me well prepared to take the SAT by strengthening my test taking skills. Specifically, I hope that this course with improve my analytical thinking, time management, and concentration.\n\nPoint 1. I know that analytical thinking is an important part of a high SAT score. I'm hoping that this course will help me to better structure my thoughts and ideas for the test. I know that this program focuses on this skill, so I am looking forward to benefiting from this, blah blah\n\nPoint 2. I also know that time pressure is a difficult part of the SAT. blah blah\n\nPoint 3 Concentration\n\nConclusion: I do havev high expectations of this course, but I am confident that it will meet and exceed my wildest fantasies. This is especially true because my instructors are brillant. etc. etc.\n\nFYI, B.S. is an important part of essay writing.

First of all what, specifically, does the college you are applying to ask for in the essay?\nIf you are expected to write about yourself and why you want to attend that college or major in a particular field -  then just be yourself.  Avoid saying what you think the college staff wants to hear (they get tired of all of that crap - and see through it).  Make sure that your essay is uniquely you.  Make sure that it is interesting enough that those reviewing it will actually completely read it.  Review it several times for errors.  Then let someone who knows you well read it and give you feedback.  \n\nI remember when my son was competing for Governor's honors in our state.  Most of the competition dressed out in dark suits and ties - and they had been coached on what to say and how to say it by their parents or teachers or even college "coaches". They memorized answers to questions. These young men and women were anxious and came across as "phony" - more like actors who memorized a script.  My son wore what he always wore to class, didn't prepare a speach and spoke from his heart.  In the end he was nominated  in 4 subjects- and the judges said that he was "authentic", "real", "enthusiastic", "a breath of fresh air" and "had a sparkle in his eyes about the subjects he was interested in - and could think on his feet".  Let you light shine.

One could easily give you what they did of the summer but how would that help you learn.  How about I give you some suggestions for things to include in your essay.  \nFirst you need a good opening.....So you could include how you were feeling that summer is finally here.  Using a lot of DETAIL in your description.  Next include several things that you did.  Even if it was sleeping late OR catching up on some past scenes of CSI.  In these paragraphs you could include the simple events like eating or the more exciting events like a movie, or shopping or a game of golf.  In closing you could put something like...in conclusion I discovered that it is not so much of what some one does on vacation but...how well they did it.   Best of luck...remember a good grade will be from the DETAILS in your essay.   I know you can do it..

You could write one yourself.  Find a few websites on the subject, read them, and, then, in your own words, write down what you learned from your reading.\n\nA good way to start is to answer the questions who, what, when, where, how, how much, and why.  That should take up a page at least.

When writing, make sure to pay careful attention to:\n\n1.SUBSTANCE\n\nSubstance refers to the content of the essay and the message you send out. It can be very hard to gauge in your own writing. One good way to make sure that you are saying what you think you are saying is to write down, briefly and in your own words, the general idea of your message. Then remove the introduction and conclusion from your essay and have an objective reader review what is left. Ask that person what he thinks is the general idea of your message. Compare the two statements to see how similar they are. This can be especially helpful if you wrote a narrative. It will help to make sure that you are communicating your points in the story. Here are some more questions to ask yourself regarding content.\n\nHave I answered the question asked?\n\nDo I back up each point that I make with an example? Have I used concrete and personal examples?\n\nHave I been specific? (Go on a generalities hunt. Turn the generalities into specifics.)\n\nCould anyone else have written this essay?\n\nWhat does it say about me? After making a list of all the words you have used within the essay -- directly and indirectly -- to describe yourself, ask: Does this list accurately represent me?\n\nDoes the writing sound like me? Is it personal and informal rather than uptight or stiff?\n\nRegarding the introduction, is it personal and written in my own voice? Is it too general? Can the essay get along without it?\n\n\n2.STRUCTURE\n\nTo check the overall structure of your essay, conduct a first-sentence check. Write down the first sentence of every paragraph in order. Read through them one after another and ask the following: \nWould someone who was reading only these sentences still understand exactly what I am trying to say? \nDo the first sentences express all of my main points? \nDo the thoughts flow naturally, or do they seem to skip around or come out of left field? \nNow go back to your essay as a whole and ask these questions: \nDoes each paragraph stick to the thought that was introduced in the first sentence? \nDoes a piece of evidence support each point? How well does the evidence support the point? \nIs each paragraph roughly the same length? Stepping back and squinting at the essay, do the paragraphs look balanced on the page? (If one is significantly longer than the rest, you are probably trying to squeeze more than one thought into it.) \nDoes my conclusion draw naturally from the previous paragraphs? \nHave I varied the length and structure of my sentences? \n\n\n3.INTEREST\n\nMany people think only of mechanics when they revise and rewrite their compositions. As we know, though, the interest factor is crucial in keeping the admissions officers reading and remembering your essay. Look at your essay with the interest equation in mind: personal + specific = interesting. Answer the following:\n\nIs the opening paragraph personal? \nDo I start with action or an image? \nDoes the essay show rather than tell? \nDid I use any words that are not usually a part of my vocabulary? (If so, get rid of them.) \nHave I used the active voice whenever possible? \nHave I overused adjectives and adverbs? \nHave I eliminated clichés? \nHave I deleted redundancies? \nDoes the essay sound interesting to me? (If it bores you, imagine what it will do to others.) \nWill the ending give the reader a sense of completeness? Does the last sentence sound like the last sentence? \n\n4.PROOFREADING\n\nWhen you are satisfied with the structure and content of your essay, it is time to check for grammar, spelling, typos, and the like. You can fix obvious things right away: a misspelled or misused word, a seemingly endless sentence, or improper punctuation. Keep rewriting until your words say what you want them to say. Ask yourself these questions:\n\nDid I punctuate correctly? \nDid I eliminate exclamation points (except in dialogue)? \nDid I use capitalization clearly and consistently? \nDo the sub

If this is a college essay question, I would focus on something that can be perceived as negative or positive.\n\nFor example, "It is difficult for met to public speak, but I find the more I challenge myself, the easier it becomes. I decided to read poetry at a local nursing home to build up my skills and comfort level, and to test my own boundaries."\n\nOr something like that!
