Your This I Believe essay is due
on Monday January 20th. You will need two copies, one for me and
one for you. As this is a radio show staple, it will be presented aloud. Here
are the requirements adapted from the This I Believe submission page (I
encourage you to submit them to This I Believe if you wish).
Keep the following in mind when
you write your essay:
1.
Limit your essay to 350-500 words.
2.
Describe an event that shaped your beliefs or a person
who inspired them.
3.
Avoid sermons and editorials—no soapbox declamations,
please!
You can peruse multiple examples
at http://thisibelieve.org. Often the ones put on
the radio are a bit better, but not necessarily so.
Andrea Kang's (Class of 2009) This I Believe essay. They re-posted it from
its original posting so all of the comments are gone, but her essay is there.
