Everyone's story is different, but they are all equally important. This short film follows the life of Anne Thompson, from her humble beginnings to her accomplishments as a U.S. president and beyond. As a child, Anne wasn't accepted for who she was and had to fight for her beliefs. With endless support from her father and teachers, she made a change in the world. Anne's story reminds us that all children have unlimited potential and all of us can make a difference in the world.

Sruthi V.: Visual Arts (shown below) - Outstanding Interpretation - “The bond that cannot be broken” 

My painting is a tribute to the strong bond that I share with my younger sister. I am her steadfast rock in this ever-changing world. Knowing 'I matter' to her makes me try to be the best version of myself. I want my sister to face any hurdle in life with courage and confidence because I would always have her back. Through good times and bad we would be there for each other, creating beautiful memories along the way.

Victoria P.: Visual Arts (shown below) - Award of Merit - "Tokens of Affection"

My work is a girl (representing me) holding a scrapbook, looking amazed as pictures are flying. It relates to the theme, as I matter because I have people who love me. To me, a scrapbook is an important way to showcase memories with loved ones. In the pictures, I drew different milestones, friends and family, people who love me for who I am, which I think is very important. I matter to these people and we all matter to our loved ones. We all have at least one person who loves us and I am blessed to have many!
