The 30 Best Six Word Essays

February 02, 2012 posted by Sharra Weasler

Our judges had an extremely challenging task -- we received over 28,000 amazing six word essays on what it means to be a great teacher, and they’ve selected the 30 best

The submissions were so creative, meaningful and eloquent – and clearly gave tribute to the incredible teachers we all have had and the impact they’ve had on our lives. Thank you for everyone who inspired us with their submissions!

Now, you get to decide which essay wins the Grand Prize. You can vote once every 24 hours for your favorite essays from now through February 21. We’ll tally the votes to determine the winner.

The Grand Prize is an iPad2 and a $500 gift certificate for DonorsChoose -- an online charity which gives you a fun way to provide supplies for classrooms in need. Five runners-up will receive a $100 gift certificate for DonorsChoose. And our voters have a chance to win too – six voters will be chosen to receive a $50 gift certificate to DonorsChoose.
