Congratulations to the Weekly “Three Sentence Essay” Scholarship winner, Rhea Nichols! Her essay not only made us laugh, but showed she was informed about the current oil spill in the Gulf. Funny and smart! Congratulations Rhea!
Here is her winning essay:
If I could pull a prank on any world leader, it would be President Obama. I would have his staff prepare a nice dinner for family and guests and announce the menu as fresh seafood from the Gulf Coast. Perhaps, the significance of the problem would hit home, and he would take a stronger stand.
Here is a little more about our winner:
I’m a rising senior, and I like to stay busy. Most of my time, I spend playing softball. I play on a top travel team called the Williamsburg Starz Gold Team. I play in the outfield because I am a very fast runner and like the challenge of running after fly balls. When I’m not playing softball, I like to go to the beach with friends. In the winter, I love to go snowboarding, and I like to take bus trips to Snowshoe. I also enjoy quiet activities like reading and painting. I plan to major in art, so I love to draw and paint. I also volunteer at a camp for children with autism.
Here are some of our runner ups:
Nikita West: I’d challenge how tech-savvy the President is by doing the classic screen shot of the empty desktop, make it the wallpaper, hide all the icons and hide the start bar. The mouse would work, but it would look like everything he clicked on was broken. It would provide humor for the computer techs.
Jenna Markovska: If I could play a prank on any world leader, I would send Obama a fake letter/email from Lady Gaga’s record label strongly requesting that he play her love interest in her next music video.
