As a college student,

Writing college essays can be tedious and stressful...

So I have found an AI, that turns my writing process into a seamless and manageable process.

Here's how you can do the same:
The tool is WriteSonic.

Founded by Samanyou Garg, Writesonic raised pre-seed funding of $125K, all from Y Combinator.

Here are some ways how WriteSonic can improve your writing
Text Summary:

WriteSonic allows me to skim through multiple articles at a time.

And if you are doing your prestudy...

- Then getting keywords

- Getting multiple perspectives

This is how you cut down research time.
Article and Outline:

Before you start, you need an outline:

You could use something like this:
- What is the key idea?
- How can I prove it?

Pro tips: To get different perspectives ask the AI to use this prompt:

[ You are X who specializes in Y for Z]
Grammar and Plagiarize:

Although there are alternatives like Grammarly,

Having the feature in the software help you:

- reduce friction
- save more money.

Sometimes the AI is incorrect, so take your time to edit it too.
Citations Generator:

This is the best part about WriteSonic.

Finding and managing citation is a time-consuming process for most students.

The software analyzes your essay and finds citations from sources online.
Chatsonic:

Different from ChatGPT, ChatSonic is:

- connected to real-time data
- Can respond with images & voice
- Create digital artwork and visuals for any purpose

All information is updated to February 2023 and it has 7+ personalities included.
Personal AI:

You need a person to bounce essay ideas with?

Now, you can train an AI to be whatever you want.

It may take some time, but afterward, the bot can:

- Be your friend
- Be your second brain
- Write in your exact style.

It's like living in 2050
In summary

You get a free trial with 2500 words, and then it's $13/month

If you are a student looking to simplify the essay writing process.

This is a great tool for your toolkit.
P.S.: I reached out to the WriteSonic team to arrange something special for our community...

Graduating high school in 1 year is impossible for 99% of people.

But after 900 hours of studying and a 4.0 GPA, I achieved the impossible.

Here is exactly how you can do the same:
The Program:

There are various programs out there but as an international student

I choose Acellus Academy. Why?

• Cheap ($2000/year)
• Accredited by WASC
• Self-Paced (super Important)

It's the most popular program in Vietnam. Image
The Program Overview

So there are 2 paths:

The Standard Path
The Honor Path

My intention of homeschooling was to Sonic-speed the program so I went with the Standard Path. Image

Albert Einstein - one of the most influential minds of all time.

After diving deep into his work and life

I have found 7 lessons for you to live a meaningful and impactful life.
1. Follow your passion.

From an early age,

Einstein knew his future was not as an engineer.

His true passion was theoretical physics.

This clarity acted as a life compass that guided his action.

If you haven't found your passion.

Don't settle down.
2. Be persistent.

Einstein didn't speak until he was 4 and didn't read until he was 7.

He was still admitted to the Zurich Polytechnic, where his teachers considered him a "lazy dog".

Even with his humble beginning, Einstein persisted and achieved extraordinary heights.
