Magnet sophomore Duy Vuong rose to the challenge (like he always does) when presented with the extra credit opportunity Mr. Greene offered in early November via the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) audio/essay contest. In this national competition about “40,000 high school students from across the country enter to win a share of the $2 million in educational scholarships and incentives …” available to students who compete. The local competition, sponsored by VFW members at post 4278, received about 600 entries from high school students in Clark and Skamania counties, about 80 of those from Camas High School. Duy’s response to the prompt, “My vision for America”, earned a 3rd place, including a framed certificate and a $200 dollar honorarium for his efforts. Congratulations, Duy! If you’d like to read his award winning entry, here it is: Duy’s Vision for America.
