Logan Figa describes the hurdles she faced with her exhibit. Words of gratitude from National History Day students are appreciated. Historical League believes in the NHDAZ program, giving over $15,000 this year.
"One of the most rewarding parts of competing in this competition was probably learning about things I didn't know existed. Not all things that happen in the world are able to reach some places. The most stressful thing was definitely the shipping process. We had gone into FedEx to ship it, and we chose the three day shipping deal. Our exhibit was supposed to get to Maryland University on a Friday, which was 2 days before our interview. However, we had to recreate our entire board because it didn't arrive until 1 hour after our interview had finished.
I learned to be prepared for anything and that you're never fully finished with something even if you think you are, there are always more ways you can improve.
My partner, Tanvi Thumma, and I, Logan Figa were in the Junior Group Exhibit category and our title was 'Title IX, a Slam Dunk in Women's History.'
Sincerely,
Logan Figa"
