Rylie, our daughter, is this year's state of West Virginia winner for the said contest. She is competing against 49 other state winners through public voting. Below is her official entry.
Below are some photos during the special assembly that Google and the school have put together to reveal her official entry. Three representatives from Google flew all the way from California and New York to give this recognition to our daughter.

Her entry was about creating a cure for cancer. Below is her essay.
The world would be a much better place if we could stop cancer from taking so many lives each year. Technology has made it easier to detect and treat but we still have a long way to go. One life lost is one too many.

Here is an artist that sees the big picture, thinking beyond the ordinary and looking at anything different and working on that cure. cancer invades many a home (as we know all to well in ours!). Great art with an interest...and what memories: I used to watch Channel 9 in Steubenville when Red Donnelly was the anchor many decades ago...I must be showing my age :)
