Peace essay contest attempt
Late last year (2006) i join some essay contest of The Goi Peace Foundation. Its some sort of peace related piece. I didn’t make it to win or place. This is my first attempt to join an essay writting contest. Obviously my essay doesnt make sense or i don’t know. I’m just a frustrated writer nor wannabe. My grammar sucks and poor vocabulary but here i am making phun of myself. At least with guts and in years to come i can sharpen my writting abilities “maybe” thru experiences like here in blogging.
Late in afternoon i recieved the certification of participation. I never expect this kind of letter would arrived.
Heres the article - Catalyst agent for Culture of Peace . it’s korni! I don’t know what comes in my mind during the time i’m writting. I’m always want to be a Peace Advocate nor Peace Maker.
I’m happy at least i know my submission arrived. I thought my piece ended lost in post offices traveling around the world.
My article is cramming as i write it before the deadline. I think i can do better if i give it more ample time to think and write to produce a good and interesting piece.
Though this attempt sometimes makes me laugh and fool myself being stupid writing for a contest. I write to try to learn and i also want to share my story even my grammars unacceptable. I think what matter is my concept and ideas is understandable.
Another experience makes me foolish? i’ll just pile it up to database of experiences and trying to learn from it. Do you also want to write for a essay peace contest?

Salam, it’s good to know that you have interest in writing. Before you can write it is essential that you read. It’s by reading that you open your minds and hearts to more ideas. My advise to you and others (Muslims and non-Muslims is to read about Islam,. Read the True Religion from Allah, the Only True God who is the Best to Guide you both in this world and in the eternal world to come. How much time have you spent reading books outside Islam? How much time have you spent reading authentic books about Islam? Read the Qur’an and authentic ahadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) to get the best guidance that will forever guide you to eternal peace.
Wassalaam,
Concerned Muslim

Congrats! Being a participant of the International Essay Contest is an honor by itself. I also joined that contest in 2005 and I got the Honorable Mention award only. Just like you, I crammed in writing for the article.

Hi. I too loved to write essays. Don’t get discouraged, whether you are a full-bloodied Moslem, Christian, Buddhist or anything - it will not change the fact that you are a free spirit - created by God/Allah and has the privileged to share this wonderful if not doomed world. Pen is as sharp as a double-edged sword and who knows what difference your essay pieces can make. Besides, writing essays would help us show the extent of our emotions regarding the things that is crucial to our lives.
Stay cool… Ciao
