This essay was written as part of Concord High School's participation in the We Are America Project. -
A national essay-writing project, We Are America, gives high school students the chance to share their voices and ponder the question: "What does it mean to be American?" And Concord High School students are sharing their thoughts. -
The We Are America Project works with teachers and young people across the country to define what it means to be American — and to spark a new national conversation about American identity today led by the next generation.
During the 2020-21 school year, Concord High School teacher Heidi Crumrine worked with a group of students to write and record personal essays as part of the project.
With their permission, NHPR will broadcast these essays in collaboration with the We Are America Project in Fall 2021 Sundays at 8:35 during Weekend Edition.
