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 Mishal Shahid's story as our grand prize winner. We loved Mishal’s beautiful writing, relatable message, and exploration of introverts and extroverts. Read her winning entry here!
