"That Time I Knew I Belonged" Essay Competition
The Alliance and SVMoA invite students to respond to the prompt, “That time I knew I belonged...” We will be looking for personal, autobiographical stories that directly address the prompt and reveal something about what makes a community work – and about the moments when it doesn’t. What does it mean to belong? Where do you feel at home? When do you feel connected? When do you feel comfortable or at ease? We are looking for originality, quality of writing, and emotional resonance. We encourage students who might be the first in their family to attend college to participate.
