A note from our winners- 

Hi! My name is Emmanuel Mbianda Egbe, but everybody calls me Manny. I am creative, smart, and kind. My dad immigrated from Cameroon, Africa to the United States before I was born. I think what makes our country great is the different cultures, people, and ideas that we have here. I was born and raised in Denver, CO where I am a 7th grader at Hamilton Middle School. Hamilton is my neighborhood public school and has great kids and teachers. My favorite subjects in school are math, language arts, science, and music. I want to thank my music teacher Priscilla Shaw for entering me into this contest. When I’m not in school I like to spend time with friends and family, go to the movies, and play video games. I also like to play basketball and volleyball. After high school I want to go to college and become a mechanical engineer. If I could give any advice to kids I would tell them to keep following their dreams and do what they love.

Hi, I’m Zidane LaPlante-Dorlean, I am thirteen and I am a 7th grader at Hamilton Middle School in Denver, Colorado home of the Denver Broncos with my two moms, my older sister, and three doggies. I am a big sports person and I enjoy many subjects in school. I play baseball, flag football, basketball, and soccer, out of the sports I’ve listed my favorite sport is baseball. I’ve been playing baseball since the age of three and currently, I have been playing on the same team for almost six years. I play many positions on the team like the pitcher, third baseman, and first baseman. My favorite position is first baseman, whilst my favorite school subjects are Math, Robotics, and Social Studies. I love to hang out with my friends and play video games in my free time. My favorite place to travel is San Diago because of the beach. When me and my family go to San Diagio we stay in Carlsbad. I predict I will live near an ocean one day. When I become a 12th grader in high school I want to apply to SDSU and learn and study Ocean Biology. When I grow up I want to be an Ocean Biologist. When I’m older my dream house will be on the side of the ocean in Hawaii.
