John Locke essay Experience
Over the summer I took part in the John Locke Global Essay competition for the Junior division. The topic I had chosen was: "Your citizenship at birth was chosen for you. Which citizenship would you have chosen?" This essay had a total of 63,328 participants in the whole contest including the junior division. In August I was notified that I was shortlisted in the Junior division, and today I received the official certificate and with it I was awarded the title of "Very High Commendation". This title is awarded to the top 1% in each division which is equivalent to the top 10 excluding the three winners. It was a valuable experience. The research and writing took about 2 months total. Below is my essay.
