The winner of the museum's first junior high essay contest was honored Friday with a small presentation and $50 bill. Students were asked to write 1 ,000 words on the theme "My America, My Responsibility." Over a dozen judges read through the essays, some as many as seven times, before determining the winners. First place winner Jessica Schreifels's essay rose to the top of those submitted by 85 other students. Jessica wrote that the United States is a "place where everyoneJs treated equal..." and "You can walk freely down the rlad without having fear of policemen, or any other authority figure." In addition to writing about freedom, Jessica's essay discussed the importance of respecting the flag, helping countrymen in need, preserving America's natural beauty and enjoying a baseball game. "I wrote about what I thought I could do to make America better because it's our responsibility to keep it the way it is," Jessica said after Friday's certificate presen- J tation. The Sunset Junior High seventh grader, who enjoys creative writing and poetry, said writing the essay was challenging because instead of answering a specific question she was expressing her feelings on a large topic. Deloy Spencer a museum volunteer and Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah administrative assistant (as well as a former teacher) said the essay has a positive impact on students for two reasons. "First it gives teachers something to encourage students to write about And second, it makes them think when they have to write about a theme. We had some good essays on ecology and citizenship that these kids wrote." Museum staff, volunteers and foundation members were thrilled by the participation in the inaugural contest which will now be an annual event "Part of our effort at the museum is to present history thaf s not otherwise so easy to view," retired Lt Gen. Marc Reynolds, chairman of the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah, said. "And so the essay contest is part of our educational program. I don't know why we haven't done this sooner. I'm so enthusiastic about the results. The participation was just wonderful." Reynolds said the foundation will look at this year's efforts and the contest' s success to see if they can broaden it next year. "We're just so anxious and thankful for any participation we get and this was really a great turnout" he said. Chantelle Ballard from Bear River Junior High earned second place honors. Sam Riley and Kenny Blake, both from Central Davis Junior High, took home third and fourth place respectively. Winners received a certificate and cash prize. |
