Feedback on This I Believe
This year was the second year we participated in This I Believe Goes Global. take some time to reflect on writing your own essay, on reading others' essays whether they were students in Ms. Spillane's class or students in our classes. Make sure to also comment on parents' essays and community participants. What did you take away from this experience? What surprised you? What suggestions do you have for improvement?

I feel that my essay was a good one and expressed who I am and how I interact with the world. It was very interesting to read other peoples essays who live in Flordia. Now, I feel like I have friends in Flordia. It was also interesting to see how close some peoples essays were to others. Some kid in Flordia had the same idea for his essay as someone in our class. I found that really interesting. It was also a great learning expierence to communciate with other people natonially.
ReplyDeleteWriting an essay was fun, and really made me question what I really believe in. I never stopped and asked myself that before, and writing this essay really made me think. Reading the other student's essays could be fun, could be sad, or interesting, depending on the essay. The essay about Chipotle was funny, and the essay about magic was sad. I learned a lot about how other teenagers think, depending on their background. It surprised me that so many people had gone through such terrible things at a young age. When I read our superintendent's essay, I was surprised that he was almost killed in a firework stand explosion. The suggestions I have for next time is that the other class agrees on how to respond to the essays. It took them a really long time to respond, and when I finally got my response, which was today, I got in a message, not a discussion.
ReplyDeleteI feel like writing my This I Believe essay really helped me to look inside of myself and see what is important to me. I also found it interesting to learn what was important to other people, and how little things were very significant to some people. I feel like the essays could be improved by simply trying to go deeper and make a more significant message. Writing This I Believe was an experience that taught me a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think that I poured my heart out on my essay. I said what I wanted to and didn’t hold anything back. I said what was on my mind truly believed what I said. What I took away from this is how much people believe in themselves and family. It is good to see people like that in this world that has become self-centered and made people feel bad about their lives. It is good to see people that are still standing strong.
ReplyDeleteWriting my own essay was a very good experience although it was tough because some of those experiences were difficult to think back on. I really enjoyed reading others' essays because they told stories and I liked seeing what people believe in. Reading what parents and other community members wrote was a great experience as well for the same reasons. This experience really made me think about how important beliefs are. It surprised me at how difficult it was to put my beliefs on paper. I wrote two entirely different papers about beliefs. Some suggestions I would have for next year is maybe asking students to read as many essays as they want but comment on 3 or 4 because commenting on so many different essays and coming up with something direct and creative.
ReplyDeleteWriting my This I believe essay was a great experience for me. Taking the time to think about what I truely believe in was enlightening. Before writing this piece I had not realized the experience made a serious impact on my life and influenced the way I live. When I began writing this essay I had no idea what I believed in, but from writing this essay I relized that I truely do believe in the healing power of art. This piece helped me to look into my experiences and learn what I believe. Reading other's essays was a great experience. I learned a lot about the people who wrote the essays that I had not known before. There is so much life that comes through the This I Believe essays. It was interesting learning about what and why people believe what they do. It stood out to me that somthing as simple as hot chocolate or chipotle burritos can create a belief.
ReplyDeleteI think that participating in the This I Belive Goes Global was a good thing for us to take part in. I hope that the students take advantage of our comments and use them to make their piece better. Although I wish that the comments on mine would have been more suggestions on how to make my paper better, not just compliments. I would suggest for next time you do this that the expectations were more set out for both classes, so that we would have more specific opinions to help us improve on our writing. But overall I thought that this was a good assignment for us to take part in.
ReplyDeleteBy writing my This I Believe essay, it helped me express my thoughts and feelings in a new way. When reading other essays, I was surprised how some of the topics were similar, even when the authors lived on opposite sides of the country. It was an amazing and humbling experience to read about the experiences and thoughts some people had.
ReplyDeleteWriting my This I Believe essay was a really interesting experience that gave me time to reflect on important experiences. Reading other peoples essays was fun and interesting too because it gave me insight to what other people believe in. One thing that this project could improve on is how deep students write. I feel this could be improved on because some people poured their hearts into their essays and others didnt spend much time on it. Over all, I think that the This I Believe essay was a fun project that taught my alot.
ReplyDeleteI thought the This I Believe project was interesting. I enjoyed reading others essays, but it was a little dull to every post tell the author to proofread for errors that spellcheck could have caught. It seemed like the class from Florida had different instructions; many of there essays were written about believing in an object. I thought this was an interesting approach, but sometimes they focused on the object, and not the lesson. When writing my own essay, I found it was hard to find a topic, but one I had a topic the rest of the essay wrote itself. Many of the parents' essays were a little hard to relate to because they discussed parenthood. I took away how that many people believe in the same things: families, kindness, etc. I found it interesting that though everyone has experienced different things; we came away with the same values. It surprised me how many errors there were in some of the other papers. I noticed that our class seemed to proofread the paper, and didn't have very many errors. The other class however had many errors in their essays. Many of the posts I saw had to do with proofreading. I would suggest for next year creating a post for every student rather than having the students create the post. Many times, students had several posts with their names.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the This I Believe essays were a wonderful idea. Personally I like writing in first person and sharing my viewpoint on things, so for me this was a good experience. I was really surprised while reading other students essays. I did not realize all of the hardships that people are going through because at school it seems like the majority of people are really happy. I was also surprised after reading my father’s essay. I had no idea how much he actually thought about the music that I listened to. One suggestion I have for the next year is to make sure that the other class knows the same expectations as our class because no one commented on my essay and I didn’t know if that was because they were unaware that they had to. Other than that I really enjoyed this project.
ReplyDeleteWriting the "This I Believe" essay really helped me to evaluate what was most important to me, by causing me to chose the most major value that I wanted everyone to know and think about. reading other people's essay helped me to become a better writer by realizing what really did not work and what really made a paper interesting to the reader. It helped me to see other's points of view and consider the devil advocate that some papers played.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed taking part in This I Believe Goes Global. I like how we got to learn a little bit about many people- whether in our class or Mrs. Spillane's in Florida. I was surprised at some of the things students in the other class wrote about though, such as flip flops or Chipotle. However, the student that I got paired up with has yet to comment on my essay, which slightly disappoints me. I think that for next year there should be some form of communication so students are able to make sure that someone has read their essay.
ReplyDeleteThis I Believe Goes Global, was an interesting project. I was amazed at the differences in subject choice. Some of the essays were more lighthearted and turned trivial things into teachable experiences or lessons. Many of the heavier topics came from our class. Many of these subjects were heartfelt and touched me when reading. I felt that the quality of the writing really changed how I read each story. Spelling and grammar mistakes took away from the writing. The part I enjoyed most was reading the community essays.
ReplyDeleteWriting my This I Believe essay was easy once I chose a topic. Choosing a topic was hardest because I knew that my peers, family, and even strangers could read it, and I felt a bit hindered by that. I didn't want to write about something that would cause people to look at me differently, so I think I went with a safe topic. Nevertheless, it took a lot of thought, and it was nice to think about me and what I thought.
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me was how open everyone was. As I said, I didn't get too personal with mine so it was a shock to read other people's and see how much of themselves they laid out there. To each their own, of course, but I was still surprised. Along with that, I was surprised - and pleased - at how non-judgmental the responses were. It was good to see that when people opened up, they got positive replies.
For improving the assignment, I would suggest having specific things that people need to write about in their responses. Some replies were so short and hardly gave any feedback at all, and in fact, some people didn't even do it right. On the wikispaces page, if there were some sort of "write two things about the essay you liked and one thing you think could be better" then I think the replies would be a lot more thorough and helpful.
While writing my this I believe, I realized that I believe alot of things. I believe in friednship, family, laughter, skiing, music, goofiness, and so many more things. I do not know if believing in so much is a good thing, but to me it is. It is the small things that make life. Reading others essays, I noticed that even the simple things can make the strongest beliefs, even Chipotle burritos. During this process, I was introduced to the program that started on NPR. I was amazed that they had essays from the 1950s and even earlier. Some suggestions for next year are to make the comments more discussion like and maybe have people e-mail back and forth to make it more personal. This assignment was amazing for me because it tested what I believe.
ReplyDeleteParticipating in the writing and reading of This I Believe essays was a very good learning experience for me. I enjoyed reading about other people's experiences and listening to podcasts to really absorb the tone related to an essay. While writing my essay, I struggled to decide on just what to write about, considering I believe in many things. In the end I decided to write about karma, and I was very pleased with the way my essay turned out. The essays that I read in Mrs. Spillane's class were very personable and I could relate to many of the situations, which I liked. One girl in Mrs. Spillane's class wrote about her father leaving her family for another woman and drugs, and I almost cried. The way that this girl just opened up and poured her heart out made her essay superb. I also enjoyed reading the parent's essays.
ReplyDeleteThis experience gave me a better feel of what it is like to write from the heart. The podcasts were a little odd and I felt kind of self concious about my voice, but it is nice to know that I was not alone.
The This I Believe assignment was a very relieving one for me. I love writing about something personal because then the sentences seem to form themselves and you don't have to work hard to think of everyone. This assignment was truly enjoyable. This experience also let me go to the writing lab and it helped me a lot. The thing that surprised me the most was about how open everyone was in their essay. Even the personal things were written about and suddenly the human race became more vulnerable and open rather than the mask you see people have placed on. The hurt, joy, pain, and love pour out all within 500 or less words. It is amazing. Some suggestions I have are that people should try to really improve their grammar and spelling mistakes. These can be easily corrected. If you leave those in your essay it gives the reader the idea that it is messy. Suddenly, your beautiful essay is given a C because of the careless mistakes you could have corrected. This was a great exercise to go through.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the This I Believe project. Expressing myself through writing this essay was a really great experience and I connected with myself on a deeper level. Reading essays from Ms. Spillane's class was a way for me to realize how kids our age on the other side of the country are not that different from me and we had a lot of the same ideas and opinions. However, I felt that our class was a lot more in depth with our essays. I was really surprised on how open people were with their essays and the amount of emotion and feeling I took out of reading them. It especially surprised me how there could be so much meaning behind a chipotle burrito.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the This I Believe essays. I liked being able to write about whatever is important to me and what I believe. Sometimes it's nice talking all about yourself. I also really liked reading the other classes essays. It's interesting to see what is important to different people and what there beliefs are. I think the main thing I took away from this project is that it's okay to talk to people about anything you want and it's nice to have people that you know will listen. I was surprised how many topics we all came up with and how different and creative they all were. I don't have any suggestions for future years. I overall really enjoyed this project and hope we do something else like this again.
ReplyDeleteWriting my This I Believe essay was a great experience for me. It really made me look into myself and find a personal conviction that I had. It was fun writing a personal essay rather than something about a book. With this kind of essay, I write better and can get excited about it. I also enjoyed reading other students essays and seeing what they believed in. I was moved by some of the things that people wrote about from Arapahoe as well as the students from Florida. Overall, this was a wonderful chance for everyone to share what they believe in.
ReplyDeleteWriting and taking part in This I Believe Goes Global was a great experience. My personal essay was an enjoyable way to express something that was close to my heart and share it with others who could relate to what I wrote. It was also great reading the essays of the Florida class and finding all the similarities our class had with theirs. It was enlightening reading all of the different essays and learning about the many beliefs of people sharing common feelings as I do.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed doing this essay. I liked how I was able to express myself witout having anyone tell me whati have to write about. I found that it was much easier to write when I was writing about something I truly care about.I also like reading the essays from kids in Florida. It was fun to see what they believe and what stories they were willing to share.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the TIB Global experience. I wish I could make the edits all of my peers suggested and resubmit, it was a great learning tool. It was also kind of cool to be like "Wow, there are kids all the way across the COUNTRY reading this, I better make it good." I also thought that it was interesting to see the connections between some of our essays and some of their essays, there were many that were very similar and some that were quite different. In the future I would enjoy to communicate and interact with kids from across the nation because I think it is a great way for us to connect and become comfortable in our surrounding, but also become open to other possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI feel that this was the first essay I had ever written that really made me think about the words that I was putting into it. I wasn't writing about a famous person or event in history, I wasn't following any guidelines other than a word limit. I was writing about the person with the most impact on my daily life, and that person was me. I was able to share what I believed without having to dress it up so that it was suitable for the paper, it was exactly what I thought.
ReplyDeleteAfter completing the This I Believe assignment and reading other peoples essays I have many thoughts about this process. I enjoyed reading other students esssays because I think that it is a good thing for people to learn about others beliefs openly and not make judgments. Writing this essay for me wasn't neccesarily a challenge but it did confirm my thoughts of me being very closed when it comes to writing and sharing with others my personal thoughts and beliefs. After this experience I have learned that their are so many different beliefs out there that people hold on to for dear life and just because they can be so different does not make them wrong to believe in.
ReplyDeleteMy This I Believe essay was, I think, pretty good. Valessi, Alejandra, and ces09cali (Who I'm assuming is Omar (Not sure) appeared to agree. I found that Ms. Spillane's class really needs to proof read a lot of things before they post them. I really liked being able to write about something that I care deeply about.

ReplyDeleteWhat I took away from this experience is that even though we are all different we are affectedby many things and this is what shapes us all. I was surpised at how deep some of the essays were and what they were about. I do not have any suggestions because I think the way it is done now is how it should be done.
ReplyDeleteI think that writing my This I Believe Essay was a positive experience for me. Once I found my topic, it was easy to write, because the words came out of my heart, not my brain.
ReplyDeleteWhen reading the other class' essays, I found some really good ones that really touched me. Others, however, felt like the student wrote the paper as a paper, not as an expression of belief. Also, I felt like the expectations were different between classes. Nearly all of the other students wrote about an object. Maybe if they weren't given that restriction, we would have seen more of what they truly felt.
Some of the essays were poorly proofread, which detracted significantly from my enjoyment of the paper.
Overall, though, I think it was a good thing that we took part in TIB Goes Global, and it was interesting to see the views of people on the other side of the country.
I thought my essay for This I Believe was pretty good. It was hard to find one thing that I believed in and the story I connected with my belief was not the easiest thing to write either, but in the end it felt good to know that someone knows about my strong belief. I thought that the This I Believe goes global was a really good idea for our class. I think we got to see what others peoples views are on certain things and how others deal with their problems and live their life. I thought it was really cool what people wrote about and how we, as other students, could comment and let them know what we thought about their essays. A couple suggestions are that the other class knows the expectations for the assignment because the person that was supposed to read my essay never did and I never got to read his because it wasn't posted. Other than that I loved the experience.
ReplyDeleteAfter writing and participating in This I Believe goes Global, i think back and this was a really good learning tool for me. I enjoyed reading others peoples' essays and I enjoyed seeing everyone's style of writing and how they expressed themselves. One thing I would work on is having all the essays handed in on time. Some kids from Mrs. Spillane's class never turned theirs in. I had a good time commenting on students papers and reading my comments. I definately think you should continue to do this activity.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was interesting that people really opened up in their essays. Personally, my essay was tough to write because I wrote it about a topic that has always been hard for me to deal with. I know it must have been difficult for other people to write about hard topics too. I enjoyed reading Ms. Spillane's classes essays. They were well written and were about very important things. I find myself connecting things in my life to what Ms. Spillane's students wrote about. I could connect really easily with how they were feeling and what they were writing about. I think that next year you should share them during class.
ReplyDeleteThe This I Believe essay was personally hard to write. It took me quite some time to first figure out what I wanted to write about, and the really tough part was putting those thoughts into words. Overall, I thought I did a great job, and that it was also meaningful to me. I also enjoyed reading Ms. Spillane's class, because it was very interesting hearing their stories and experiences. What surprised me was the fact that everyone, from Colorado or Florida, both go through a lot of the same situations, and we can relate easily. The only suggestion I would have would be the user names, because it is hard to know who has commented on a topic.
ReplyDeleteIn writing my This I Believe, I opened up a lot more than I was used to. Readng the other essays was a really good experience to see what has affected others in their lives and just how different everyone is. I like how we did the This I Believe and I do not think it should be changed.
ReplyDeleteI can say I honestly did not like the This I Believe essays. It took a lot of guts for me to even write mine and then when I did, I hated myself for my reasons to believe in what I do. You could say this was an eye opening experience and really it was. But for me it was not fun. I saw something in me that I have been trying to hide for years and to have it exposed on paper like that, its ugly truth showing in plain sight. I hated my paper and I really hated the idea of other people reading it. The only good aspect of it was that I really see how horrible all that was when I put it into my own words. It finally makes sense to me. Reading the other kids essays was interesting. There are so many little things that make us who we are and how we act. Like the boy I was assigned to read wrote about music. I could so closely relate to it all that I loved his essay. it was personal to. Like seeing al little bit of some ones soul, but only a glimpse. I really liked being able to connect with kids from so many other places. That was the best part. Over all it had its good points and bad. I just really hope I don’t have to do it again.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I take pride in my essay. I went into the writing lab to get help which inspired me to take a creative edge on mine. Looking at other students essays it made me respect those others and realize how similar we all are. From this assignment I realize that though we are very far apart we are all similar. For some I know that they did not feel comfortable sharing anything as personal as they would wish, so maybe instead of using names, possibly use numbers to make it more anonymous.?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed participating in This I Believe. I feel that this project was a great way for me to express myself while practicing my writing. From this assignment, I took away that even though each individual has their own belief and separate experience, people have much in common. We all know what it means to have a great friend or to have felt a loss. We all share the same feelings, the only difference is how we respond to them. I was surprised at how difficult it was to pinpoint exactly what I believe in. I think this is a concept that often gets blown away with people’s busy lives. Also, there is a lot to believe in. My only idea for improving This I Believe is to throw out the word limit. So many important thoughts can be left out in this way. Otherwise, I felt that this assignment was flawless.
ReplyDeleteWhen writing my essay for This I Believe Goes Global, it took me a while to find a topic to write about. I knew I believed in many things but they were ideas that many people believed in. Eventually I did find myself writing on a topic that was a general belief by all people, but by explaining what experiences brought me to that belief, I found a deeper meaning. When reading other essays it was a surpise to learn that many regular things in life means something differently to someone. That even something as basic and simple as an instrument can mean so much to one person. A suggestion that I would offer would be not to have a word limit. There was so much to say more to explain but it was difficult to include it with the word limit. When shorting the essay to fit the limit, it felt like the meaning of the essay is lost. However when entering the This I Believe essay online, I guess a limit is needed.
ReplyDeleteThis I Believe Goes Global was a great experience for me. I find now that I'm often questioning each choice I make based on my own personal beliefs. I think we could have had some more time to reflect on the essay to make it the best possible. I somewhat feel that my essay could have been a little more real.
ReplyDeleteReading essays from students my age in Florida was really eye-opening. It helped show that teenagers across the country have many of the same issues. One essay in particular was interesting. It was about a boy and his belief in money because money helped his family survive a hurricane. This essay was completely different from my own personal beliefs, and that was nice to see.
Looking back, I am surprised at what I ended up writing about. Too many of my original ideas were too hard, emotionally, to write about. After such an incredible assignment, I find myself writing a little essay in my head about belief every day. I do regret how my essay was not as personal as it could have been.
This I Believe Goes Global was an assignment that I will never forget. It was an essay that I actually enjoyed writing and I'm glad to have participated in such an exciting event.
By writing a This I Believe essay, I was able to really understand how important something was to me. It never really hit me before how important my family was to me and by writing this essay, I really had to think on a different level to figure out what is truly the most important thing to me. I was surpirsed at how good everybody's capabilities are in writing, including myself. I never knew I could write about something that was so broad, yet so deep. Some suggestions that I have for improvment are to maybe have a set date by when everybody should turn their paper in and actually follow that date. I really liked how we got to comment on papers that were written by students on the other side of the country. It was interesting to see how everybody from there had similar topics. The This I Believe essay was great, and I think should be continued throughout the years.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was first presented with the idea of writing about what I believe in most, I was completely confounded on what to write about. The topic, that I later chose, was, and is, so engrained in who I am that I overlooked it completely. I really enjoyed expressing myself and my ideals, as well as finding about those of others. The diversity of the “This I Believe” essay topics showed me a little bit of uniqueness in others which I hadn’t known was there. I took away a new perspective on many ideals which my peers hold precious to themselves. I loved how personal many of the essays are, and how touching and impacting the words of a teenager can be. The only advice I can give is to speak from the heart when writing the essay, and make it personal while incorporating stories or examples.
ReplyDeleteMy experience of reading and writing the “This I Believe” essays have been amazing. All the essays that I read from the kids in Ms. Spillane’s class were extremely easy to connect to on a personal level. Finding the right topic to write my essay on was difficult, because I have been so blessed throughout my life. I had nothing else to write about except my personal freedoms and blessings which other people don’t have. The most surprising thing that I found through reading these essays is that almost everybody has been touch in a different way. We do not realize at all the people walking through the halls everyday with us could be experiencing the same exact thing as we are. I had a great experience with everything that we did throughout the whole process.
ReplyDeleteWriting my "This I Believe" essay was a tough experience. I didn't know how to write a heartfelt essay on how I viewed the world, and finding the topic was definitely not easy. My essay would not make the typical reader shed a tear, but writing this essay, I found myself crying. I couldn't help that using my own experiences was getting to me emotionally. When reading the other essays I thought it was incredible how something so simple as Spiderman could affect someone so deeply. I really enjoyed writing this essay because it gave me a break from the typical 5 paragraph topic essays, and gave me chance to be real.
ReplyDeleteWhen you gave the assignment I have to admit I was totally flummoxed and thought it would be the hardest paper ever. Thankfully I was wrong the words and thoughts flowed out and 15 minutes later I had a fully written paper. I enjoyed reading other peoples essays, I liked seeing what other people thought and believed I think it's really cool how we are all so different. I think a common set of due dates and expectations is important. I noticed a lot of formatting errors and a lack of recorded essays on the other classes part, it was a little disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWriting this essay allowed em to take away all the fluff that is normally in my writing and allowed to be real. It made me think about each word I was using and if it was enough to describe my experience. Reading the essays from Ms.Spillane's class was an amazing experience. It made me think about how little things can represent something much larger. It also made me think about how similar we are even though we are separated by thousand of miles. I think improvement could be made in the amount of proofreading done before the essays are read because I found that some simple mistakes took away from the experience of reading the essays.
ReplyDeleteFor me writing the essay was hard to do. I knew what I wanted to write about but I did not want anyone to read it. I had to let go of that feeling to write my essay. While I was reading some of the essays from Ms. Spillane and our classes I started thinking about how much these essays really allowed you inside a person's heart and it made me feel really good reading them. Of the things I will take away from this experience, the biggest thing is just being able to open up through the essay. Something that surprised me was reading the what people believed in at first. Some of the essays were on gummy bears and Spiderman which I thought was just weird. I was also surprised to find that some of the essays about random things were actually good and did have a true meaning. In the future I think that it would be good to ensure that we get responses back on our essays because not very many people got commented on in our class.
ReplyDeleteI think writing the "This I believe" essay was a good experience for me. This allowed me to go deeper into my thoughts and really focus on what is important to me. It was also very interesting to see what other people thought was important to them as well. After reading a number of other essays, I was surprised about the many other topics that the other people wrote about. Quite a few of them were based on a certain food or a type of clothing, which was surprising to me at the start. As I read though, I realized that they included a life lesson and tied it in with their subject. I thought this was very good, but I was mostly impressed with the kids that went personal and shared what is deep in their hearts. One suggestion I do have for improvement is to read the paper pver and over to make sure that there were no spelling or gramatical errors. Many people would write about personal matters, but the errors would detract from the message of the essay. Overall, I think that writing the essays was a good experience for us to become better writers and to elaborate on what is important to us.
ReplyDeleteThe essay I wrote really made me appreciate what I have and what I believe in. I could also see from reading others that many people poured their soul into their essay as I did, when that was clear I was able to understand that person better. When reading people's essays by people that I have ever met it gave me new perspectives on a wide variety of issues. When comparing the essays from my fellow students from Colorado to the students from Orlando it was interesting to see the different issues separate people have to deal with from different parts of the country. Also, when reading parents and other community participant's essays the different things adults believe in and what teenagers believe in was fascinating. After completing this essay I know that one improvement would be to comment on fewer essays because it was difficult to accurately describe so many essays.
ReplyDeleteI loved this expierience of writing an essay and getting to see what others thought about it. This writing activity helped me grow as a writer and gave me new ideas for how to create my essays. I think it would be great to do this next year cause I know that future students will benifit highly from this.
ReplyDeleteI think that writing this essay helped me express who I am and what I believe in. I really liked writing this essay and write with your heart while doing this. I was surprised when I realized that some regular things in life are very important to other people. This is a great essay to write for kids next year do, suggest them to comment on a few that they really liked and write passionately.
ReplyDeleteWriting my This I Believe essay was e great experience. I learned a lot about how blessed I am to have my good health. I also found it interesting to learn what was important to other people, and how little things were very significant to some people. I feel like the essays could be improved by simply trying to go deeper and make a more significant message. Writing This I Believe was an experience that taught me a lot.
