A note from our winner -

Hi there! My name is Sariah Ross. I am 18 years old, I just completed my Freshman year at Brigham Young University Idaho, and I am currently working at a local Law Office. I grew up in Oregon, and I come from a family of four—my parents, myself, and a 16-year-old younger brother. My home and wherever my family is is my favorite place in the world.

My hobbies include reading, writing, singing, dance, doing fiber crafts, learning languages, and having deep philosophical discussions. I also enjoy going on hikes, doing puzzles, playing games, and watching movies with my family and friends.

I was a homeschool student for the entirety of my pre-secondary education. Homeschooling sparked in me a love of learning and a passion for education. It taught me the importance of being educated and that ultimately, my education is my responsibility. Through my experience with homeschooling, as well as my religious faith, I developed a deep love of truth and true principles. I love exploring ideas and building a greater understanding of the principles that govern everything around us. This led me to a love and interest in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the principles surrounding freedom and governance. I am still piecing together what my future path will look like exactly, but one thing I know is that I want it to be driven by true principles. I believe that if understood and adhered to, true principles have the capacity to change people’s lives, the trajectory of nations, and the world for the better.
