Recently, the Rotary Club of Peachtree City conducted its annual Laws of Life Essay contest among the Fayette County schools. What’s a Law of Life? It’s a saying or maxim that summarizes an ideal, a character value, or a principle about life. If followed by everyone, the Law of Life would make the world a better place.

The Georgia Laws of Life contest invites students to select a Law of Life and to use it as a prompt to write about a core character value such as honesty, generosity, courage, compassion, or perseverance. As a program of Rotary clubs in Georgia, the contest reflects Rotary’s emphasis on values, high ethical standards, and service to others.

The winners this year from McIntosh High School are James "Duffy" Weldon, Josh Hamlin, Camille Faraldi.

Duffy Weldon won 2nd Runner-up at the State-level contest, making his essay third out of 45,000 essays written. Read his essay about being “Jere Good”, and the other statewide winning essays by going to:
