Boomer Women Speak JUNE-JULY Writing Contest


A Lesson I've Learned

We've all had them. Those “life lessons” that make us stop and think and possibly see the world, our environment, or even ourselves in a different light; the lessons we'll never forget. Some call them “Aha” moments.


Who was your mentor? Was it a teacher, a parent, or your best friend who helped to open your eyes and heart to learn? Maybe even a boyfriend? Or was it man's best friend; a pet? No matter who taught you, or how you learned, we all agree that over time, they are truly unforgettable. What is that one particular lesson that stands out in your mind? Did it change the course of your life, or maybe it wasn't life-altering, but it helped to shape the person you are today. Whatever you lesson, send us your story by entering our contest and win prizes!

Please read and follow the guidelines below and good luck!

GUIDELINES:

Please pay attention to these simple but important guidelines:


Submit an essay in a WORD document as an attachment. NOT in the body of email.

Your submission must have a TITLE.

Edit your work. If edits are needed, the entry will be deleted. SEND YOUR BEST AND FINAL!

Word count should be below 800. Use 1.5 spacing between LINES. Put ONE space between the each sentence. (This means when you end a sentence, put ONE space after the period before you begin the next sentence)

Make sure to include your NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, and SHORT BIO at the TOP of the essay, not in the email message.

In the Subject line, write "JUNE-JULY Writing Contest."

Submit entries to Georgia at georgia@boomerwomenspeak.com. ONE entry per person, please.
