A call for student writing

Women's Perspectives #6: We Are Here! (published by WE LEARN) will showcase original writings and artwork by adult literacy/basic education students across all levels. Student writers and artists are encouraged to reflect and to share their ideas on the theme "We Are Here: How I Add Value to Society." The response can be based on these questions:

• In what ways were you successful before you came back to school? What would you like others to know about those experiences?
  
• What are your best qualities? How are they helping you continue your education? How might they help you in the future?
  
• What contributions have you been making to society (e.g., organizing in your neighborhood, leadership in your church, helping at your child's school)? How are you already valuable to your community?
  

  The deadline for submissions is January 28, 2011, and the issue will be published in April 2011. For more information, visit the WE LEARN website.
