Is it wrong to say they deserve more for all their hard work? I think they do.
This is quite an honor for these students. National competition of the best and brightest students in the nation, and these kids were selected. Congratulations to each of them and the dedicated teachers who inspired their journey, and their parents who encouraged their excellence. May each of them work hard at the next level and find success.
