Ada HS College Prep English students respond in essays

First of a two-part series.

Ada High School College Preparatory English students, in a class taught by Melody Veltri, were challenged with the question "What do you believe?" This story focuses on that project.

Question: What do you believe?

Mrs. Veltri posed this to her students. 

“I asked students to write a statement of personal beliefs,” she said. “This is challenging. It requires such intimacy that no one else can do it for you.”

Offering several suggestions for the assignment, these included telling a story, being brief, naming your belief, being positive and being personal.
