Essay Contest Winners

On April 7, 10 students read their "This I Believe" essays. Students were asked to write an essay in the manner of the "This I Believe" National Public Radio program. The essays are personal mantras or "the reason one gets up everyday." The essay contest was run in conjunction with the Alexander Mitchell Public Library's All-Aberdeen Reads program. The Williams Library is very proud of all the students who participated in the program. The three judges selected:

  • First place ($75) – Rebecca Bartels (essay on imagination and reading)
  • Second place ($50) – Xueting Zhao (essay about learning from dance)

  • Third place ($25 ea) – Philip Mittleider (essay on hard work) and Rachel Schipper (essay on kindness)
