about my essay sample pitch
In my essay, I wrote about an event that significantly shaped my present views on climate change. My story takes place in 1996, when there was a lobby to cut down all the trees surrounding our school. Before a city ordinance was finally passed, parents, teachers, and students held a month-long protest. I became so passionate about those trees that I even used my allowance to buy snacks and bottled water for the protesters during our vigils, held under the trees to frustrate the road widening plans.
It was a stressful time, especially for my parents. Although they were concerned about the complex situation I had involved myself in, they allowed me to participate in the protest. I learned a lot from that student action, realizing how a strong, collective voice can make a real impact.
I now work with a non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting the environment. I can trace my present career inclination directly back to the fervor of those protest days in my senior year of high school.
I sincerely hope you'll consider my essay for the word-fellow workshop.
