♥Can’t wait for the results,
“good luck” everyone!
Wow…. after reading everyon’s story, this is going to be a tought rought to choose from. so far “Corey Beauge” story is very intresting it cought my eye alot. everything he said he is right. and i think he deserves it.
After reading everybody’s writing on how they are achieving Success in life. i must everyone did a good job, after reading a few i mostly read almost the same situation. But a few were good. So far i think “Marvin Etienne” was good in all because he basically briefs on what success is all about and the situations that we are all facing. his was great to me. But for everyone who entered the contest good luck too all.

“I seen you have taken many steps in your life towards creating a better future for your self & family. Being a teenager is no easy job in itself, and I see you strive to overcome it all & be the best person you can with be with a positive attitude at all times. I also see that you are very excited, and highly motivated to attend college. Despite the many obstacles that have been thrown at you, this is a very important lesson for all of us. Each of us has our own journey in life, all of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, & what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there. Your are truly successful, and I believe you deserve this award, and it will also make you mother situation easier because I know that down in Florida, there are no jobs at all & The economy is very bad as well. This will make your situation better because you can really focus on your success more. Best luck to you Corey. Keep your head up at all times.
