This I Know is based on the popular
international project "This I Believe" in which people from all walks
of life profess and share the core beliefs that shape the way they live
their lives. This I Know is a student project—in the same vain—where
college students enrolled in a first year composition course with Prof. McGuire at
Moraine Valley Community College have written essays of their own and
contributed them to this site as a final project for the course. All of these students were also encouraged to contribute their essays to the This I Believe program.
Take a few minutes to listen to some
of the essays below—students speaking in their own voices, with
conviction, about what is most important to them with regard to their fiction writing craft. Be kind and leave a comment or two in support of their work. Also, note that this web page works in any browser, but it is best displayed in anything BUT Internet Explorer. Try FireFox or Opera.
