BlogWrite To Lead
The Democratic National Convention Committee, Post-News Educational Services and Qwest are working together to encourage students from across the state of Colorado to "WRITE TO LEAD" -- a unique opportunity for Colorado youth to voice their thoughts on leadership and the future of our country and to engage in the 2008 Democratic National Convention experience.
Click here for video from the official Write to Lead kick-off in Denver.
Throughout history, political party conventions have played a key role in determining our nation's leaders. We know young people in Colorado have big ideas about what makes a good leader and where our country is headed -- and with the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver fast approaching, there's no better time to give voice to those big ideas.
The "WRITE TO LEAD" contest invites Colorado students in grades 6-11 to submit an original essay answering one of two questions:
Grades 6-8: What qualities make a great leader? How could one exhibit those traits in everyday life?
Grades 9-11: Looking to the future, what do you see for our country? What qualities does a leader need to take our country forward?
Finalists will have the opportunity to serve as ambassadors to state delegations from across the country, and two Presidential Winners will attend the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.
