Sophomore Wins Third Place in National Essay Contest
Sophomore Erica Hylemon recently won third place in the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum Essay Contest, sponsored by Allegiance Credit Union.
The prompt for this essay contest was to write about a time you made an important decision. Erika wrote about when she was in middle school (living in Germany) and she turned down a cigarette that someone offered her. She found out about the contest through fastweb.com, a website where you create an account, then input your likes and dislikes. It finds essay contests that are specifically suited to your talents and characteristics.
Erika discovered that she won when the Dean of the Museum called her mom to tell her a diploma was being mailed to her English teacher, Mr. Scott.
