Students write moving essays
More than 500 local students participated in the Educational Consortium of Central Los Angeles fall essay contest. Each submitted an essay on the theme “What I Want that Money Can’t Buy.” Judges, who read the essays, were moved by the touching and very personal stories that were submitted by students.
Several essays penned by students from the USC Family of Schools were selected as top essays.
And what can’t money buy? Health for family members, parental love and trust, and U.S. citizenship.
