I recently interviewed an Ansonia Middle School eighth-grader whose essay about Harriet Tubman won semi-finalist status in a New England-wide competition that focused on the achievements of African-Americans from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Justyna Cieslik's true interest lies in writing song lyrics but she clearly is a gifted essay writer as well. She said her younger sister is a talented singer, and they dream of teaming up someday as a singer-songwriter duo.
It's always refreshing to meet young people who are working hard to pursue their goals.
I wish Justyna and her sister all the best in their future endeavors.
