This I Believe
A short essay by Tahlia
Written January 30, 2007
Tahlia's 5th grade teacher, Jan Nethercut, shared with Judy this short essay that Tahlia wrote earlier in the year.
As parents we share with our children our values and beliefs, and hope that some of it sticks.
In Tahlia's case it appears that it stuck, and her teacher gave her a format to express it.
Captured below are the words just as she wrote them.
This I believe:
- That having friends in life is important for everybody,
- That every person has the right to believe what they want to,
- That no matter who you are you should be able to get an education,
- That it is important to feel safe and peaceful with your family,
- That helping others is significant to your success,
- That being patient will help you learn the way of life,
- That everyone in the world is important to our economany,
- That prejudice is wrong and always will be wrong,
- That having fun in life achieves you more than learning.
This I Believe!
