With the Oscars coming up on Sunday, Feb. 24, Im curious what your acceptance speech would be. Share you six words and then, if you like, add a sentence or two explaining what award or honor you've won.
Thank-you to sweet, crazy, bi-polar mom. (Without her, I might never have had a reason to write. And without writing, I may never have had the opportunity to win this National Book Award).
When accepting hundreds of thousands of grants, awards and donations.
Educated by life honored by you.
Acceptance speech 10-20 years from now when Stanford University awards me an honorary degree. (Stanford does not award honorary degrees)
May friendship, love and truth perpetuate.
Accepting membership as a Rebekah …having grown up in an I.O.O.F. children’s home and contributed to the organization until I pass.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
