This was such a beautiful story about growing up, becoming more confident in yourself, and finding your people, through all the messy complications of human relationships. It was also so heartwarming to see supportive family, friends, and community.
I loved seeing Obie being on a team doing something he loves, turning to his older brother for advice, staying connected to his family culture, and going on dates - all things that teens experience. His essay for the contest was also so beautifully written, so I’m glad we got to read it.
