Students at La Quinta High School recently participated in the Good Citizen Essay Contest sponsored by the Cahuilla Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Students at LQHS are nominated by staff. The senior class then voted on which student should receive the award. The winner then writes a 500 word essay.
This year’s chosen student was Bibiana Jacobo. The essay is written with no notes and no materials. The student sits at a desk in the counseling office and writes her thoughts. Bibiana agreed to share her essay with the community. (Note: Bibiana’s enthusiasm for the subject resulted in some typos and spelling errors. Please disregard them knowing that additional time to work on the piece would have resulted in a more polished but perhaps not as passionate an article.)
