Laws of Life GLL Student Writers Express Gratitude
Students
genuinely appreciate the opportunity to reflect on their life experiences. The
Laws of Life essay helps many teens realize that they have wisdom and life
skills to make a difference for family, friends, and their community.
In a recent
survey among participants, many students shared heartfelt appreciation for this
writing opportunity. More than 200 students from 60 participating high schools
completed the survey.
Over 97% of
students responded that writing the essay made them more aware of the importance
of personal values.
95% of
students felt that writing a Laws of Life essay and reading/hearing other
essays gave them a better understanding of other students.
Of students
who attended a meeting at their Rotary Club, 80% said that meeting the members
inspired them to broaden their aspirations for college or career.
If your
Rotary club is interested in bringing the Laws of Life Essay Contest to your
local high school's students, contact District 6900 Laws of Life Chair Linda
Hatten at linda@georgialawsoflife.org. We can provide information for you
to share with your partner school. Linda is also available for club meetings or
meetings with partner schools.
