how to ace your college admission essay (and other college admission secrets)

Josh Sundquist — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:00:25 +0000

Wanna know the secrets to writing a great college admissions essay? You, my friend, are in luck…thanks to my brother Luke.

The other day Luke (Age: 17. Facebook Relationship Status: Single. Looking for: Girls) came to me asking for advice about his college admission essay. That reminded me of a workshop I taught a few years ago on this very subject.

I dug up the DVD and discovered that although my speaking (and fashion) skills were kinda lacking back then, the video is packed with useful info.

So if you or someone you know is applying to college this month (or in the next few years…it’s never to late to start planning), check out these clips…

we should hang out sometime

I didn’t have time to talk about this at FFA, but I usually start the golf course story with this bit about The Greatest Pick Up Line of All Time.

What do 15,000 screaming FFA students sound like?

“Free Fallin” video

Josh Sundquist — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:25:16 +0000

I’ve just posted a video of the “Free Falling” parody I sing when I speak to student groups.

This was recorded in front of 600 college students here in DC this past January. Since it was a college crowd, I added a more “edgy” third verse–I don’t include it when I perform for high schoolers.

The song is basically a bunch of references to stories that I tell in my speeches. Here are links to videos of all these stories:

“Eye contact at the urinal, this guy was hardcore…” Social Interaction at Urinals
“She was in my math class…” Prosthesis Malfunction on My Golf Course Date
“We woke the bull…” Cow tipping story, on How to turn your limp into a pimp walk
“The two liter…” Movie theater story, on How to turn your limp into a pimp walk
“In the airport security line…” In the 4th chapter of Laughing at Our Differences

nationally broadcast PSA about disability awareness

Length: 60 seconds

Hey everyone, check it out: I’ve had the honor of being included in a Public Service Announcement that will be broadcast throughout the country this fall. It’s about disability employment.

We filmed this past summer and the spot was just unveiled a few weeks ago. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the filming…

We filmed it in an empty theater. The idea is that a theater is my "workplace" since I give speeches and whatnot.

They used some serious camera equipment...that thing required several people to operate.

Here I am talking to Chris, the producer of the spot.
