Great news about these kids but MORE COMPETITIONS? Do they really need one?

Posted by Tiredofthebs, a resident of East Palo Alto, on Feb 1, 2013 at 2:29 pm

All of these kids are awesome and have overcome enormous hardships. They easily could have used that as an excuse to give up, but instead they have persevered to become productive members of society and represent EPA well. I know one of these young men personally and could not be more proud of him. I wish they all could have won.
