TRAILWOOD AWARD OF EXCELLENCE ​

We All Matter
I chose to write about three people who think that they are useless because it shows that everyone has a purpose in this world. You may find yours earlier or later than other people, but everyone matters. You, your friends, your family, and everyone you've ever known make your mark on the planet, and no matter where you choose to go or why you do these things you matter. This story shows the important lesson that nobody matters more or less than one another, and everyone ever has a purpose.

Peacemakers
In the world right now, there is a lot of fighting. This piece shows two friends that are different but alike. They matter because they both want the world to be a better place. A world that is peaceful and equal.

"WE" Matter
I chose to replace "I" with "WE" because I only matter if we all matter. We all matter for the reasons that I put on my artwork.
