		<description>I&#039;m a kid but love writing stories. I 12 years old. I&#039;m in sixth grade. And my teacher and classmates love my stories. Here is a simple of one:
 Dear Brandon,
It&#039;s been far too long. And I know about the treaty. But I wish to see you and what&#039;s left of Jess&#039;s Kingdom. My lord&#039;s kingdom is growing of all fear. Michael, Dean, Amanda, and I are all fine. The treaty is still going perfectly. Michael and Dean are getting treated like royalty. Amanda hates it here and wants to come see her husband again. I get treated like Shadows are supposed to be treated. And I&#039;m almost twenty-two. It&#039;s been years, when can we come home?					
Love,
Connor
	Tears ran down Connor&#039;s face. He misses his brothers. Jack is the youngest. His warm smile when you walk into the room. Then his older brother Brandon. He&#039;s a shadow, he watches over the King, or better known as Jess, Brandon&#039;s best friend. Tears fell on to the paper, Connor quickly soaked up as much tears as he could. He folded the paper and put on top:
				Maid Family
				Shadows
				5798, Halse Kingdom</description>

		<description>Hi Dina &amp; Daniel!
How exciting it was to read the excerpts you provided! There are obviously many, very talented students in this great country of ours; and it was a pleasure to read even a few lines of some extraordinary work. That you inspired these submissions is a credit to you both! I hope you will continue to fill students throughout America (and the world!) with hopes and dreams and confidence and pride. Congratulations on completing this part of your journey. I hope we&#039;ll meet again someday, Edie (S. Brooklyn, NY)</description>

		<description>Congrats Ninfa! 
Penny, the winner&#039;s story will be featured in its entirety on this website next week! If we get lots of requests for the other stories, and the authors agree, we might post them too.  But posting the full story was part of the winner&#039;s prize.</description>
