"This I Believe" Essay

The “This I Believe” project is not an autobiography—it is a personal narrative, a story that focuses on a small piece of your life. It is about values we hold dear; the moments that teach us who we are. It is not a factual retelling or a timeline.  

You will find a document on Google Classroom titled "This I Believe Part One."

Today, our goal is to complete steps 1 and 2
