A “This I Believe” essay is based on how a person has developed their own personal beliefs based on personally significant events in their life. I believe that the purposes of these essays are to learn from other people’s life lessons, without having to take the trip through life yourself. This allows one to be wiser and allows them to learn other lessons. These essays also show many different walks of life and experience events in life that many of us would never get to experience on regular terms. I think another goal of these essays are to better the quality of human life and the value of society.
