Back in October, we asked students to share a short essay about a struggle they’ve faced, a passion they have, or something that makes them special. Every entry was wonderfully unique, and choosing a winner was a long and difficult process.
After reading and rereading our finalists, the editors of Action chose Betiana Mujica’s story as our grand prize winner. We loved Betiana’s vulnerability, as well as the touching and relatable way she described the feeling of being caught between two cultures.
