Key to awesomeness: "I think I was chosen because I had unique and quality essays. For example, I wrote a western tale for one of the essays," Chris said. He added he thinks writing is an art form lost in his generation and he is one of the few who takes a genuine interest in it. The honor, he said, makes him feel ecstatic because he put a lot of work and thinking into the essays and "the recognition is truly humbling."
