Gallaudet National Contest WinnerBy: Kester Horn-Marsh
For the third year in a row, KSD has a student in the winner's circle for the Gallaudet national "Yes I Can" contest. This year's winner is Nathan Jalali. He won honorable mention in the ages 9-14 category for an essay he wrote about the struggles of living in two worlds as a hard-of-hearing person. Nathan won $100, and he will have his story published in the next edition of the magazine, Celebrate.
Let's give him a warm pat on the back. He is an excellent writer, and we want him to enjoy success in that realm as well as acquire ASL. There were over 600 entries nationally, so this is quite a feat. Let's continue KSD's tradition of producing winners by encouraging more students to participate in next year's contest.
FYI: Last year Kylei Brooks won 2nd in the ASL contest. Two years ago, Kyle Kuschmider and Jeremy Stockman won honorable mentions with their essays.
