Freshman
to receive
an award
for essay
By Mona Koppclman
When Joanne Mcnter
of Bellevue was assigned
to write a descriptive
essay for her freshman
English composition class,
the idea occurred to her
"immediately."
"I didn't want to, but
I felt compelled to do it,"
Menter, 26, said. "I knew
it was the thing I could
write about best."
Obviously, the best
was good enough, the essay
won Menter, a freshman
at UNL,the Bedford
Prize for Student Writing.
Menter 's composition
teacher, Jackie Lewis,
entered the essay in the
contest sponsored by
Bedford Books of St.
Martin's Press. Her work
was one of 50 chosen out
of 1,100 entries from
500 schools across the
United States.
A panel of eight judges,
including syndicated colum
nist Ellen Goodman, made
the final decision. Menter
will receive a $150 award
and her essay will be pub
lished in an anthology of
the winning essays in the
fall.
Menter 's essay, "Home
is Where the Heart is,"
is about her father, John,
who has Parkinson's disease.
The title "sounded
corny at the time, but in
the end, it was the only
thing that really seemed to
fit," Menter said. "I think
when people hear about
someone having an incur
able disease, unless they
experience it themselves,
they can't understand what
that sort of life is like."
"It was difficult to
write," she said. "It's
difficult for me to write
something that emotional
and close to home."
"I have to write it
quickly and get ir on the
typewriter. I feel I have to
get it away from me as
fast as I can. It's like taking
a piece of yourself and
putting it into words,"
she said.
Menter said her mother
read the story aloud to her
father and he liked it.
"Life goes on," she said.
"You can't stop everything
and go around with a long
face. My father has to live
with it. My mother has to
live with it and in the years
I was at home, I had to
live with it.
"I guess that is what the
essay is really about . . .
how relationships have
changed and how it really
is, living with someone
who has an incurable
disease."
