Words of Wisdom from Kermit: A 250 Word Personal Statement
Kermit the Frog has to write a 250 word essay. Obviously, he is applying to college via the “Common Ap“. And obviously, Kermit has discovered that the minimum word count for the Common Ap essay is 250 words. This version of Kermit is not very ambitious. He is shooting for the minimum (which is not very Kermit-like.) What would Kermit’s 250-word essay look like? Below is a 250 word essay example from Kermit.
Finding My Voice: A Journey of Self-Discovery
From a small pond to the stages of Hollywood, my life has been an adventure filled with challenges, triumphs, and self-discovery. I, Kermit the Frog, never imagined that a simple frog like me could make such a splash in the world.
Growing up in the swamp, life was simple. My days were spent hopping from one lily pad to another, singing songs to the rhythm of the croaking chorus around me. Music was a way to express the beauty of the world I saw. However, despite my contentment, part of me yearned for something more.
My big break came when a talent scout from Hollywood visited our swamp. He was looking for new talent for a show that was different from anything else: The Muppet Show. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, I auditioned. To my astonishment, they loved my performance and offered me a role.
Moving to the big city was overwhelming. The fast-paced life was a far cry from the swamp I called home. However, I was determined to make the most of this opportunity. The support of my fellow Muppets helped me navigate this new world.
Looking back, I am grateful for every experience. From the quiet swamps to the bustling cities, my journey taught me that dreams can come true. I have found my place in the world. And as I gaze at the stars reflecting on the water, I know that there are still many adventures ahead, and I’m ready to embrace them all.
What Does 250 Words Look Like?
Well, it looks like Kermit’s story above! (EXACTLY 250 words, excluding the title, thank you very much.) It’s enough to get a point across, but he can’t go into great detail about his life story. A 250 word personal statement is pretty short. Below is a snapshot of what a 250 word essay example looks like if printed.
How Many Pages is 250 Words Single Spaced?
250 words single-spaced is approximately 1/2 of a page (without a title.) Here’s what 250 words looks like if single-spaced:
How Many Pages is 250 Words Double Spaced?
Want to make your 250 word essay a little beefier? 250 words double-spaced is almost a full page in length (without title.) Here’s what Kermit’s 250 word essay sample looks like if double-spaced:
How Long is 250 Words?
A 250 word essay is 250 words long. I can’t believe you just Googled that question. What a weird question to ask. If you did type that into Google, you probably shouldn’t be writing an essay. Just stop.
How Many Paragraphs is a 250 Word Personal Statement?
OK, that’s a better question. However, I’m sorry, but the answer is…it depends. Kermit’s example above is 5 paragraphs long. Each paragraph is pretty condensed – containing only a few sentences each. Typically you can fit between 2-6 paragraphs into a 250 word essay. I find breaking up text into a few paragraphs is easier to read than one big chunk of text (a.k.a. paragraph.)
OK, so I see Kermit’s 250 word essay example. But what his word count requirement is different?
What if you have to write a 400-word essay? Or an 800-word essay? (I find writing an 800-word essay easier than a 400-word essay.) You can find a link to a sample narrative essay of various word lengths from our friend Kermit below. Compare each to get a feel for how BIG of a story you can tell, how much to leave out, etc to fit specific word-count requirements.
