7th Grader Seneca Corral claimed 1st place at the Kern County Oral Language Festival, held at Stonecreek Junior High on January 26th. Seneca earned the top spot in the Serious Solo category for 7th and 8th graders with her interpretation of "Why Am I Not Good Enough?" by Olivia Vella, an Arizona middle schooler who gained acclaim with her lament of the pressures faced by teenage girls to present themselves as an unattainable ideal.
Congratulations, Seneca!
