PROMPT: An essay should reflect the writer’s personal outlook on life as gained through personal experience, but it must not be an editorial/opinion piece, a proposal to solve an existing geopolitical problem or a dogmatic expression of opinion. Stories in these categories may be written in any narrative point of view and must not exceed 3000 words in length. As related to the 50th Anniversary of Foster City, it would be anticipated such an essay could address a variety of topics, including to, but not limited to: one’s own personal experiences growing up here in Foster City, one’s thoughts and recollections on current life here in the city, the lifestyle you live, and including examples of really nice things you enjoy here plus some things that could be improved, and finally thoughts one could have about the future of our city. What should be our future vision including goals you would like to see accomplished in coming years?
