What can you learn when you listen to a life? Young people can become more aware of their own dreams and goals when they hear the real-life stories of older adults. The annual Listen to a Life Essay Contest is also an opportunity to build closer connections between young and old.
To enter the Listen to a Life Contest, a young person
8-18 years old interviews an older person over 50 years about their hopes and goals through their life, how they achieved goals and overcame obstacles, or how dreams may have changed along the way. What life advice can they share? The young person then writes a 300-word essay based on the interview.
Winners of the 2007-2008 contest will be announced on this webpage May 12. The next contest starts September, 2008.
