reflections on nprc

So two years ago akshaya and aishu submitted poems for nprc. Actually meant for akshaya coz she has memorized sonnet 18 anyway. Aishu wanted to also so we sent it in. Aishu got selected but not akshaya

Last year akshaya tried her luck for sending in her poem for the competition . Did not get selected. 

This year she tried for a third time. Specially wrote in to ask if a poem could be included, that got accepted, then she got selected and then she won! 

And this is like her first win ever. She's tried many times
 
Ashwin and she submitted for brown is redacted, he got selected. 

Aishu and she tried for nprc, aishu got selected and won 2nd prize

Then aishu got published this year

This is her prize this year. Am so happy for her. 

She read langston hughes kids who die with such depth of feeling. Clear winner. So moving.  Her answer was spot on too

Aishu read if and came in third. She did really well too. Competition was super tough
