This I Believe: Final Reflections From Our Senior Class

For the last eight years, all seniors at Reading Memorial High School have ended their English Language Arts experience in the Reading Public Schools by completing a common writing assignment. All seniors, across all sections of grade twelve English, have written a //This I Believe// essay. This I Believe, Inc//.// is a national non-profit organization that encourages individuals from all walks of life to compose and submit short essays of personal belief. The website [|thisibelieve.org] serves as an archive and showcase of fine reflective writing from a diverse sample of citizens. Many of the essays are presented on National Public Radio as audio recordings featuring the voices of the authors.

This website is now home eight years' worth of //This I Believe// essays. The essays here collected were recognized by the students themselves as the finest essays from across our many sections the senior class. The authors graciously agreed to create recordings of their respective essays.
