In the past few weeks, I was invited to participate in the process of putting Essays into a database and evaluating the essays. The agency where I am doing my internship is having an Essay Contest sponsored by Southwest College. It promotes creativity through writing as an effective method for authors of ALL ages (grades K – 12 and adults ages 18 and older) to express their dreams and ideas for a successful life and a better community. The themes the authors have to write about are as follows; 1. Get Up! Get Active! Get Involved! Get Healthy! 2. If you were the President of the United States explain how you would practice peace and encourage strong citizenship in your quest to be a proud American as a World Leader. 3. The power of education! 4. Sit on the sidelines or get in the game? Explain why it is important to “Get in the Game” and be active in the fight against obesity. 5. “Draw the Line” by saying NO to alcohol and drugs. 6. “Character Counts.” Clarify how practicing one or more of the six pillars of character (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship) makes you a better person.
That’s it for the week.
