Anti-Bullying Essay Contest Open to Teens

The Claire Friedlander Family Foundation in collaboration with Life’s WORC/Family Center for Autism invites Long Island high school students to enter an essay contest that aims to combat bullying against people with developmental disabilities. Students in grades 9 to 12 enrolled in public or private schools in Nassau or Suffolk counties as well as Queens are eligible to compete for the $4,000 first-place prize, $3,000 second-place award or $2,000 third-place winner. The essays must address the question: “Why autistic and developmentally disabled people become targets of bullies, and how can my school and community prevent it?”

“I hope that this essay question will motivate more critical thinking, constructive ideas, and perhaps, solutions,” said Peter J. Klein, President of The Claire Friedlander Family Foundation. “Sadly, bullying and acts of thoughtless, irresponsible conduct targeting developmentally disabled and autistic people is at a point of crisis,” Klein said. “How can schools and communities help to bring about new social improvements and bring an end to this form of prejudice and intolerance?”

The essays must be 400-500 words, submitted by the U.S. Postal Service, Fed Ex, or United Parcel Service postmarked by no later than May 3, 2018. Contact Tina Moreno at 516-741-9000 or Danny Frank at 212-279-1041 for details. Awards will be made at a presentation event at The Family Center For Autism by no later than June 1, 2018.

The  late Claire Friedlander, established the foundation to foster tolerance as she was a Holocaust survivor who immigrated from Nazi Germany to the United States. Life’s WORC was founded by Victoria Schneps-Yunis, co-publisher of the Long Island Press, which is also sponsoring the event along with the Queens Courier. In addition to Klein, judges for this contest include Northville Industries Corp. CEO Dr. Gene Bernstein, Life’s WORC Executive Director Janet Koch and Kelly McMasters, Asst. Professor of English and Publishing Studies Director at Hofstra University.

Respect for All Oath

“a champion of respect" oath.

I’m valuable.

 I will take care of myself, my school and my community;

I  pledge to respect myself and at all times have the best interest of others in mind.

I will give my teachers and peers the respect and gratitude which is their due;

I will not bully, and will not be a bystander ; instead I will forever stand up for the victims of bullying.

Congratulations to Sabrina Xu of Class 821 for representing TEAM 74 in the District 26 RFA Poster Contest

Short description of what my poster means to me:

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,” states Edgar Degas, a French Artist. I believe that this sentence perfectly summarizes my intentions with my poster. Less is more in this case. I incorporated heavy symbolism that doesn’t need words to describe what I am trying to convey. From the color scheme to the location of the background text, my poster establishes a strong theme using the most minimum of techniques. Although it looks simple, my poster makes a person stop and think about its message. No words are necessary, and silence is golden. That’s the beauty of art.   

Congratulations to Leah Kats of Class 723 for her submission, "From Bystanders to Allies," for the District 26 RFA Essay Contest

From Bystanders to Allies

Flashing back to last year, in the sixth grade, during the summer time, my friends and I decided to match bathing suits at the pool. Disregarding my body structure, my 2 friends and I walked near the deep end. Before jumping in, I remember my friend turning to me with her hand on her mouth, whispering in my ear, “You should not wear that type of bathing suit, it does not look good on your body.” Reluctantly giggling along with her, despite feeling the shatter of my heart, I started to stretch out my skin, which I forced myself were rolls of fat, and sucked my stomach in. Forcing a smile, Ava (made up name)peered over at us after hearing us exchange laughs. Wondering why I was laughing and would not defend myself she quickly added, “Why would you say something like that.” Emily (made up name) responded, “We are joking.” In disbelief Ava explained that jokes should not be used to an extent where you make someone feel insecure based on their appearance. She then claimed that every body is beautiful despite their differences in any aspect. Carefully listening and taking into account everything Ava had mentioned, I perceived that I should have spoken up and said something in regards to how I felt in response to what Emily said. This also applies to anytime someone says something offensive about others’ appearance, personality, or makes an unnecessary and offensive comment on something that is different about them. As people made in the image of God, we should all conceive of our differences and our unique characteristics and understand that those make us up and are valuable parts of us! I clenched my eyes tightly struggling to visualize my home screen that read, “Be proud of who you are, and not ashamed of how someone else sees you.” 

Bullying is an everyday problem that people all over the world either spectate or take part in daily, which is damaging to the mental health of people. We need to start addressing these situations, and taking action in these scenarios, whether you see bullying online or verbally.

A bullying essay is a popular assignment in various subjects, including psychology, sociology, and education. Writing an excellent paper on the matter requires more than just in-depth research and planning. Don’t worry; there are some tips that will make writing an essay on bullying much easier:

• Choose a topic that allows analyzing and interpreting the problem. Instead of merely describing what bullying is, try to dig deeper into its causes, consequences, and solutions. If your professor didn’t suggest any topics, you may research bullying essay topics online and select one that would be exciting for you to explore.
• Read sample articles and papers online to see how other students approached the subject. Notice the bits that work and don’t work, and write them out to make the process of creating your essay easier. If you’re struggling with finding enough examples online, you may want to expand your search to discrimination essay topics and materials.
• Research what scholars say about bullying. Articles in scholarly journals are an excellent source of information because they are usually trustworthy. If you’re still in school, your ability to navigate the library or online databases will also impress your tutor. As you start researching, you will find that there is a great variety of studies, and it’s challenging to find the relevant ones. Narrowing down your search would help you to do that. For instance, if you are writing a cyber bullying essay, try searching for social media bullying or online anti-bullying services.
• Include real-life experiences where relevant. Unfortunately, bullying is a common problem in many institutions, and if you haven’t experienced it, your friends or family members probably have. If your tutor allows personal input, explore real-life experiences with bullying. Note the effects, preventive measures that worked or didn’t work, and what a person used to cope with bullying. If personal input is not allowed, you could ask your friends or relatives for ideas and then find high-quality sources that discuss similar problems.
• If you can, be creative about it! A powerful bullying essay example draws from a variety of sources to present material in a creative way and engage readers. Hence, this might be an excellent opportunity for you to include images or graphs in your paper. For example, anti-bullying posters could complement the sections of your work that talks about solutions to the problem. Quotes about bullying coming from famous persons would also be influential, especially if you include them at the beginning of your piece. If you like drawing or painting, you could try to put some of your ideas in graphic form – this will definitely earn you some extra marks! Just make sure to check with your tutor to see whether or not creative input is allowed.
• Structure your paper well to avoid gaps or inconsistencies. It would be beneficial to create a detailed bullying essay outline before you start working. A typical essay should include an introduction, two to three main paragraphs, and a conclusion. The first paragraph of your work should consist of some background information, whereas the last one should restate the points and close up the paper. A good bullying essay introduction should also feature a thesis statement that shows what the piece is about.

These tips will help you to write top-notch essays on bullying, as well as on related subjects. Don’t forget to browse our blog some more to find other helpful materials, including essay titles!

Students win anti-bullying essay contest with disability theme

Two Suffolk County students are among the winners of a local essay contest themed around bullying prevention for autistic and developmentally disabled individuals.

Sayville High School senior Aidan Kolar, 18, and Centereach High School sophomore Angela Huang, 16, have placed second and tied for third, respectively, in the annual contest coordinated by Life’s WORC/The Family Center for Autism in partnership with the Claire Friedlander Family Foundation. For winning, Kolar was awarded $3,000, while Huang was awarded $1,000.

This year’s contest asked students in grades nine to 12 to respond to the question: “Why do autistic and developmentally disabled people become targets of bullies, and how can my school and community prevent it?” A total of 58 entries were received from schools in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens.

“Sadly, bullying and acts of thoughtless, irresponsible conduct targeting developmentally disabled and autistic people is at a point of crisis,” said foundation president Peter J. Klein, who is also a board member for Life’s WORC/The Family Center for Autism. “I hope that this essay question will motivate more critical thinking, constructive ideas and, perhaps, solutions.”

The contest’s first-place and other third-place spot went to students from Townsend Harris High School in Flushing, Queens.

The program was founded in November by Beth Cohen, assistant principal, to encourage positive decision-making and to improve relationships among students both at the middle school and in the community.

Students earn school privileges by signing a Code of Conduct and abiding by its guidelines of resolving conflicts peacefully, avoiding negativity towards others and keeping dangerous objects off of school grounds.

The campaign has given students opportunities to get involved in its cause to keep peace and anti-bullying in the spotlight. The essay contest was sponsored by Altrusa International Club of Long Beach, a non-profit civic organization, who, in partnership with Jefferson’s Language Arts teacher, Belinda Berry, awarded students for writing about how JP-ABC helps to stop bullying at Jefferson.

WINNING ESSAY BY XIMENA PERFECTO

I have always liked school. I like learning. My favorite subject is language arts. I love to run. So I looked forward to track after school.

As much as I liked school, I didn’t want to go because I was bullied from first to fifth grades. I was scared and lonely. I couldn’t understand why nobody liked me. Three girls would constantly call me ugly, hurtful names and would laugh at me. I was always excluded from many groups.

I wanted to be “in,” to be liked, to be part of a group, to be part of them. I could never talk to anyone because they would say mean things about me to the other kids and to my face.

The same girls would throw dirt at me and push me off the swings. They would laugh so hard that everyone would look at me and laugh too. They would say that I was so ugly that I started to believe that I was and that was the reason I had no friends.

Sometimes, I would get so angry I would start to cry. After school, my mom would pick me up, I would get in the car and cry in her arms. She would hold me, kiss me, and tall me that it was going to be OK and no to believe those mean words.

She would remind me that I was a “warrior,” a miracle baby, since I was born after five months, weighing 1 pound, 6 oz. My parents did everything to stop the bullying, but it got so bad that I had to change schools. This helped, but even with the change, I was already insecure, defensive and sensitive to any laugh, words, comment or look.

Those experiences are in the past. Now, I’m attending Jefferson Leadership Academies and my life has changed 180 degrees! I love my new school. I’ve made many friends and my teachers care about me and the other students. I am happy to come to school.

For the first time, I feel safe, secure and protected.

What I have learned from those experiences is that people will say what they say and do what they do. I can’t change them, but I can choose to believe them or not, ignore their mean comments and stand up for myself. I can choose to report bullying to the teachers and can help others who need comfort.

The JP-ABC program is so important because it holds us all responsible to each other, student-to-student and teacher-to-student.

The oath that we take is a reminder to respect each other, not just in the school, but at home too. I want to make a difference. I don’t want kids to experience what I did. It feels awful.

All I can promise is that I will do my best every day and know that each kind word out of my mouth and everyone else’s mouths will add up to thousands of kind words in our school, where at the end of the day, we will have all made a difference.

NFL player rewards students taking a stand against bullying with a dream prom

New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford is a professional athlete known as much for his ripped abs as for his ability on the field, but he was once a 5-foot-7-inch, 108-pound high school freshman who was regularly bullied.

"It's something that definitely affected me,'' Weatherford told TODAY.com. "Waking up and going to school was dreadful. I'm now 32 years old and a pro athlete, and it doesn't stop when you leave high school. People are always judging you, so I'm always encouraging people to be a good friend."

Weatherford is championing the anti-bullying cause by making sure a special group of high school seniors who wrote touching essays about their experiences with bullying will have a prom night they won't soon forget.

On May 8, as part of "Project Prom" put on by his Steve Weatherford World Champion Foundation, five seniors from William L. Dickinson High School in Jersey City, New Jersey, and their dates will be getting an all-expenses-paid prom, from their tuxes and dresses to transportation, makeup, hair and flowers, thanks to donations by local businesses. Weatherford also will be joining them for prom night at Mayfield Farm in nearby West Orange.

"If I was 17 years old and had a pro athlete showing up for prom, regardless if he's a punter or not, it's pretty fun,'' Weatherford said.

Dickinson seniors Brianni Thomas, Anthony Davila, Umama Khan, Taina Cortes and Nile Batista were chosen from 26 finalists out of 140 essays submitted. Weatherford, who lives in neighboring Hoboken, chose Dickinson with input from the foundation's board. He was blown away by the stories he read from students about their experiences. This is the second year of "Project Prom,'' after the foundation helped students at Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin, New Jersey, last year, who had suffered from the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy.

"It's been fun for me, reading these essays and speaking to the kids at the prom event,'' Weatherford said. "For me to be able to instill confidence in these kids and encouraging people to build each other up instead of tearing each other down is very rewarding to me. I want my legacy to be bigger than football, and to be encouraging and inspiring people not only through fitness, but just life in general."

Davila's essay involved an incident when he was a sophomore and intervened when another boy tried to commit suicide. The boy had jumped from a structure near the high school and was bloody and injured on the ground. Davila helped alert authorities and get him to safety.

"He was actually a stranger,'' Davila told TODAY.com. "It was a tough time for me because I was going through a form of depression because of my experiences with bullying. When I saw this boy crying and bleeding on the ground, I didn't think twice in that moment. I just thought about helping that person. That gave me a form of strength to move forward no matter what the obstacles."

Batista admittedly was a bully himself in middle school before changing as a freshman and advocating the anti-bullying cause.

"I was really just reading a lot of news articles at the time about suicides and people murdered because of who they were, and I thought, 'Am I that type of person who is causing this and supporting this? Is this what I am?''' Batista told TODAY.com. "I was a part of the problem, and I thought if I change, maybe others can change."

In addition to Weatherford's foundation, the New York Giants are also donating $25,000 to the school so that any student who wants to go can attend the prom, even if he or she cannot afford a ticket.

"As a school, we are eternally grateful that the Giants have provided a grant to allow all the students to be a part of the prom,'' Dr. Frederick D. Williams, Dickinson's principal, told TODAY.com. "Steve Weatherford's initiative also has helped to heighten the dialogue we've had in the school regarding anti-bullying."

Following the prom, Weatherford will be launching a social media campaign with the hashtag #TeamLiftUp to help people who are being bullied and encourage kids to build others up instead of tearing them down. His dream is to eventually have similar events in every NFL city facilitated by players from the local teams.

"It's about knowing that what you do and what you say in this life affects more than just yourself,'' Weatherford said. "These kids are just really inspiring and showing how important it is to be a good friend and to build others up. I'm looking forward to a fun night next month."

"I can't wait,'' Davila said. "It just makes it an even more grand event, and it will be a memorable night."

• Jordan Hafizi | For the Staten Island Advance

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Staten Island District Attorney’s office is holding its fourth annual artwork and writing contest for students, aimed to stop bullying.

The "Step Up. Step Forward. Stop Bullying Contest,'' asks Staten Island youth to submit artwork and written submissions by April 20. The D.A.'s office is also accepting video submissions, under two minutes in length, to go along with the artwork and written pieces.

Students are asked to address questions pertaining to bullying in school and society, such as how bullying makes them feel and what the appropriate response would be if they see bullying in action.

Normally, there is an awards ceremony for those who submit entries, but due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, the ceremony that was originally slated to be held on April 27 has been cancelled.

Those who wish to participate are urged to submit their work electronically by emailing [email protected]. Participants can either scan or take a photo of their artwork or written pieces.

Last year’s contest received more than 1,200 contest submissions from more than 30 Staten Island schools.

LAFCU essay winners: How my environment molded me into the person I am today

Here are the four winners of LAFCU's Write to Educate essay contest. The students were tasked with answering this question: How has the place you have grown up molded you into the person you are today and impacted your life?

The winners each received a $5,000 college scholarship and another $500 was donated to each winner's designated charity.

My community shaped and expanded my worldview

Nature vs Nurture. How much does the environment a person is placed into have an effect on their character versus how they were born?

I have contemplated this question many times when it comes to myself and how much I have allowed myself to be changed by the people around me. From a young age I have always had a strong sense of self. I have known who I am and what I need to do to accomplish my goals of becoming smarter and stronger. I have had little care for the judgments from my peers.

This has been an asset because it has allowed me to reach heights beyond what I thought was possible but that does not mean I always know my path forward. That doesn’t mean I have not changed. As much as I, and every other human on the planet, resists change, it is impossible to grow without changing.

Becoming older means expanding one’s view of the world from a simplified version to a messy one. A world full of complexity and inconsistency which each and every one of us must navigate and find our own path through the shroud known as our future. The community that I have grown up with are my paddles allowing me to navigate the treacherous river, giving me advice and a wider world view of things I never thought existed.

My morality is the first thing that was shaped by my community. Every person has the basics of morality sewn into them from birth but when it comes to more complicated situations, my community has changed my view.

My younger self was much more cut and dry where I would label something as wrong no matter what, with no exception. My community has taught me to view these situations with more context to make more informed decisions.

For example, a kid beats another kid because he was being bullied by him. My old self would say the kid who got into the fight should be punished because he laid his hands on another person and should have taken other outlets to resolve the problem. The way I see it now is that even though his decision was wrong to hurt the other kid, no one was able to stop the bully from bullying him and the system itself has failed the kid by allowing the bullying to happen. I have no wish for anyone to get hurt, but I see that situation as much more nuanced than I once did.

These ideas have been shaped by my own experiences and by the people around me who have been put into tough situations. I have learned from the diverse community around me that the choices people make are rarely simple ones.

My political views have also been shaped by my community. I am growing up in a community that largely has different political views from my own. Having different people to communicate with that have grown up in ways different from my own, has allowed me to find where I stand on certain issues.

Within my community I have been able to find people that I respect, and I take note of the things they believe and challenge their ideas versus my own. Even if in the end our ideas of how the world should be run may differ, I have been able to find common ground with tons of people and I have been able to refine my views into a more well-rounded, multi-faceted, diverse view of the world.

My community is full of people from all different races and cultures, and by combining perspectives from all those different people, we can find a way to have a more united world with the basic necessity of finding common ground and understanding which can unite us all. Where I have grown up has shaped the way I think and how I act. Even though I have always had a strong sense of self, there are parts of my personality that have been changed and molded by my experiences, and my community has influenced the way that I view different situations. Without my community I would not be as accepting and open-minded as I am today.

— Antonio Rojas of East Lansing High School is headed to the University of Michigan. Chosen charity: Cristo Rey Community Center

Lansing Hmong community encouraged my success

Many things in life are taken for granted. During my childhood, I was very active in the Hmong Lansing community. The community would occasionally hold multiple annual events for gatherings. I would meet many new people there and hear their stories, advice or opinions on life. The younger me at the time didn’t know what to take from these experiences and failed to appreciate these moments.

As I matured, I understood what these opportunities meant when I grew around the community. It was the experience of learning from others. The learning experiences growing up in the Hmong Lansing community have molded me to become a person of ambitions, someone who gives back, and the love of cooking for others.

In the Hmong community, the place has molded me into a person of ambitions. I am a first-generation Asian American coming from Hmong immigrants. My parents came to America for a better opportunity. Within my community, most do not have a college education. People from the Hmong community had to adjust to the culture, language, and way of life in America. Born in America, I adjusted to the culture there easily compared to my community.

I felt the need to carry their dreams of being successful. I wanted to take the opportunity that wasn’t given to my community and achieve greater heights. I want to strive for success within the Hmong community.I have grown into a person who gives back to their community. I can always remember the events that brought the community together all over Michigan. It was a yearly cultural event called the Lansing Hmong New Year. It was an event of celebration, bonding, and opportunity to connect with others. I wanted to help continue thisongoing tradition. I started doing community service to involve myself.

Even though it may not have been much, I felt a sense of accomplishment in giving back to the community. Seeing the joy of others is what truly motivates me to give back to my community.

The place I had grown up in created a love for cooking. I vividly remember the times when my parents would have a barbecue for various occasions for the community. I would always ask my dad to teach me how to grill. It was until one particular day that pestering led my dad to teach me how to grill. It was my brother’s graduation event.

Graduation from high school was important in the Hmong community; it was the time for people to gather for the success of one’s education. My dad guided me in the process of grilling until he thought I was ready by myself. I took my first step in grilling, and it was a success. People in the community for my brother’s graduation thought my cooking was delicious. I was filled with joy and pride. I liked having that feeling and having others enjoy what I make. Learning that skill gave me a passion for cooking for others.

Throughout my life in the Hmong Lansing community, it has taught me many valuable lessons in life. Whether it was basic knowledge or insights, these life lessons were appreciated. Without the love, guidance, and support from the community, I wouldn’t have grown into the person I am now. The Hmong Lansing community holds a special place in my heart.

Rural upbringing influenced my career choice

Did you know that rural students are now officially recognized as an under-represented group in colleges?

For decades, rural students have faced unique barriers in getting into the best colleges, but in recent years, people have started to realize that the lack of rural representation in academia is a problem. From my own experiences growing up in a small, rural town, I have gained skills vital to my future career as a plasma physicist, allowing me to collaborate with my peers in the scientific community to better the world.

One of the key things that Napoleon has offered me is a close-knit community, which has given me social skills that I would not otherwise have, allowing me to effectively collaborate with others when the time comes to work as a group. These skills will serve me well in my future career, where I will be collaborating with scientists both in my own field and related disciplines.

As a smaller, rural school district, Napoleon had not always had the resources of larger schools. Despite this, my teachers have helped me to develop creative ways to solve problems when not all the tools are available, allowing me to effectively function in situations where I do not have the same opportunities as other students.

For instance, though my school doesn’t offer advanced physics education, I was able to seek out opportunities like the Academically Talented Youth Program at Western Michigan University or Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation (PING) at Michigan State University, which allowed me to gain knowledge I would not otherwise have, and I was supported in this endeavor by my school.

As a student in ATYP, I had to leave school early once a week in order to gain an accelerated honors education in English − not only was my school able to accommodate my periodic absences, they were also willing to accept my ATYP credits in lieu of the school’s English classes. This flexibility let me have more time at school to pursue other modes of education such as dual enrollment.

Similarly, my upbringing in a more rural area has given me a perspective on the world and how it works that is beyond what my more urban peers are familiar with. Growing up in a forest, I have always been surrounded by nature, and I have a deep love for the woods around my home. This has spurred my intention to enter the field of plasma physics, where I can make a difference by working towards the end goal of nuclear fusion energy, a clean and safe source of electricity that will keep the woodlands I have loved safe for centuries to come.

Already, I am able to apply this perspective to the community around me. In my role for the Jackson Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee, I have had an incredible opportunity to serve as a mediator, helping to resolve issues that occur in my group of students working towards a better future for the youth of Jackson County.

Success comes from overcoming rural limitations

Livingston County has always been my home. Despite continuing development, the area where I live remains rural. Growing up in a rural area is equal parts wonderful and frustrating. Rural means fewer people per square mile with smaller communities and less diversity.

My school is not known in the area for its diversity. There is not much variety when it comes to everything from what grocery store your family shops at to what school you attend.

My education has been limited by my rural community because my school has fewer class selections and availability. For example, both last year and this year I signed up to take classes (AP English Literature and Pre-Calculus) my school offers but I was unable to attend these classes because the only availability conflicted with my other classes. To combat this struggle, I committed to learning these classes online through a virtual education platform with whom my school partners.

One of my other choices, AP biology, did not have enough student interest to schedule the class and I had to change selections. This has been a limiting challenge for me as well as other students in my district. To broaden options, many students participate in dual enrollment classes with community colleges in the area. Limited variety and availability has encouraged me to stretch my idea of traditional school to take the classes that will help shape my future.

Activities like archery and horseback riding are local to me. I attended horse camp at age 6 and have been involved with horses ever since. Currently I am a member of my school’s equestrian team and own my own horse, Gingersnap. Horsemanship has taught me selflessness, hard work, responsibility, and perseverance. Without access to local barns and camps I would have missed out on developing important life skills.

My school’s archery team was started by another student in my grade who had a passion for archery, the outdoors, and hunting. I joined immediately. In addition to memories and friendships, archery has taught me how to set and achieve realistic goals, that practice makes progress, and teamwork. I am grateful for my community being in an area that supports and fosters growth in clubs such as these.

Despite the lack of variety, I strive for excellence in every opportunity to reach my full potential. My classmates and l help encourage each other in many areas from academics to sports and clubs. A friend of mine created the Environmental Club, of which I was a member, to help promote recycling and decrease wastefulness. She also created Students for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Our club not only recognizes diversity but we find solutions to problems in our community every day. We spread awareness at school through bulletin boards displaying achievements by a variety of groups in hopes to foster change and inspire others in our community and the world beyond.

With a smaller school population, there is less diversity but we do have an inclusive program called Peer to Peer. Neurotypical students are paired with neurodivergent students (called “links”) to assist them with participation and making friends. These “links” are often the only friendships these students have at school. I helped encourage my “link” to communicate with me by starting conversations, asking questions, and playing games.

Our school is small enough that our Peer to Peer class was able to meet and play Braille Uno during lunch. The more intimate setting including our whole group may not be possible in a larger district. While we may not have the diversity of a larger school, I embrace any available opportunities to learn about others.

I would not trade growing up in a rural area as I feel I made the most of my opportunities and developed skills that will support my transition to a larger college community and beyond.

Haley Says She Will Vote for Trump, in Her First Appearance Since Dropping Out

Nikki Haley had sharp words for President Biden and some Republicans.

Haley Says She Will Vote for Trump in the November Election

In her first public appearance since dropping her republican presidential bid, nikki haley, the former governor of south carolina, said she would vote for former president donald j. trump..

As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account. Who would secure the border. No more excuses. A president who would support capitalism and freedom. A president who understands we need less debt, not more debt. Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I have made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me. And not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that.

Reporting from Washington

In her first public appearance since she dropped her Republican presidential bid in March , Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, on Wednesday said she would vote for former President Donald J. Trump, stopping short of an official endorsement.

Speaking at the Hudson Institute in Washington, a conservative think tank, Ms. Haley delivered a scathing critique of President Biden and Republicans on foreign policy. During her speech, she made no mention of the elephant in the room: Mr. Trump.

But in a fireside chat afterward, the moderator, Peter Rough, asked Ms. Haley who she believed would do a better job in the White House. Ms. Haley paused before carefully continuing her answer. As a voter, she said, she would put her priorities behind a president who would have the “backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account,” secure the nation’s borders and curb the national debt.

“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times,” she said. “But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump.” A few sighs were audible in the crowd as she spoke.

As Mr. Trump’s longest-standing rival in the 2024 primary contest, Ms. Haley carved out an important lane for herself as the voice for Republican and independent voters looking for an alternative to the former president. While she was included in recent chatter about Mr. Trump’s possible running mates, he recently all but ruled out the possibility of selecting Ms. Haley, who also is a former South Carolina governor.

Her decision on whether to endorse him could play a pivotal role in shaping the presidential contest. Ms. Haley, who was named the new Walter P. Stern chairwoman at the Hudson Institute, has built a formidable network of high-dollar donors and has a solid base of younger people, college-educated voters and independents that she has warned Mr. Trump he needs to win. But she and the former president grew increasingly bitter at the end of the primary.

In her chat after the speech, she also said Mr. Trump “would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they’re just going to be with him.”

Representatives for Mr. Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Biden campaign officials said Ms. Haley’s remarks would not sway the anti-Trump moderates and independents who reject the violence and division that Mr. Trump represents. Though Ms. Haley never embraced the anti-Trump label, many came to see her candidacy as a principled (even if futile) stand against Mr. Trump and his transformation of his party.

“Nothing has changed for the millions of Republican voters who continue to cast their ballots against Donald Trump in the primaries and care deeply about the future of our democracy,” Michael Tyler, the communications director for Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign, said in a statement. “Only one candidate shares those values, and only one campaign is working hard every day to earn their support — and that’s President Biden’s.”

The Biden campaign has been working behind the scenes to reach out to high-profile Republicans and Haley voters. It is also planning to roll out a grass-roots group with dedicated staff workers to organize Republican voters in key battlegrounds.

Robert Schwartz, who heads the Haley Voters for Biden PAC, said Ms. Haley’s comments on Wednesday were not surprising. She has a future in Republican politics and her own personal, political and partisan reasons to maintain ties with those in her party, he added. But he contended her voters had “entirely different calculations” on what was best for the country.

“I am not going to sugarcoat it — it is bad news,” Mr. Schwartz said. “But it is something that we expected, and taking a step back, it is actually a pretty weak endorsement.”

Ms. Haley echoed many of the signature themes from her campaign during her speech. She criticized Mr. Biden for his withdrawal from Afghanistan and what she described as his failure to take on China and Iran. She called his recent decision to withhold a shipment of bombs to Israel as “foolish.”

“Withholding them validates the totally false and destructive narrative that Israel is acting unjustly by defending herself,” she said.

But she did not do the same to Mr. Trump, whom she had described as “unhinged” and a dangerous agent of chaos throughout much of her campaign. Instead, she reserved her choice words for members of her own party, disparaging them for promoting an isolationist approach to Ukraine’s war with Russia.

“Just a few weeks before Biden threw Israel to the wolves, many Republicans in Congress tried to push Ukraine off a cliff,” she said, praising Speaker Mike Johnson for demonstrating “moral courage and a clear understanding of the stakes.”
