First-Year Writing Competition:
“Making a Better World” Write an essay in response to ONE of the following questions: 1. Journalist Tom Brokaw once observed, “It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.” In 300-700 words, tell us how you would like to make a difference. How would you like to change the world, society, or even individual lives for the better? What role will your college education play in your desire to make a positive impact? Please be as specific as possible in your response. OR 2. Most of us know at least one person—a family member, a neighbor, a teacher, a coach, a friend, or someone else—who has made a difference in the lives of others. In 300-700 words, tell us about this person’s contribution. Explain what he or she has done to make a positive impact on your life, on the lives of people around you, or on your school, community, and/or the world at large. Please be as specific as possible in your response. Competition Rules
