alumnos escriben ensayos conmovedores

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.

Más de 500 estudiantes locales participaron en el concurso de ensayo de otoño del Consorcio Educativo del Centro de Los Ángeles (ECCLA). Cada uno de ellos presentó una composición sobre el tema “Lo que yo quiero que no se puede adquirir con dinero”. Los jueces que leyeron los ensayos se emocionaron con las historias tan enternecedoras y personales de los alumnos participantes. Varios
de los ensayos redactados por estudiantes de la Familia de Escuelas de la USC resultaron premiados. Y, ¿qué es lo que no se puede adquirir con dinero? Pues, la salud de los parientes, el amor y la confianza paternales, y la ciudadanía
de los Estados Unidos de América.
