"It would be a fascinating topic to learn about, especially with personal connections." Kadence Johnson NHDAZ student reflects on why she chose the topic for her paper- The Day That Lives in Infamy: The Revolution of Pearl Harbor. Kadence writes, "I chose the topic of Pearl Harbor because I have a mixed heritage of Japanese and American. I thought that since I used to have a relative who was in Japan for some of the war, that it would be a fascinating topic to learn about, especially with personal connections. The attacks of Pearl Harbor were revolutionary because they entangled America in WWII, ushering along a swifter ending. If Pearl Harbor had not occurred, the outcome of the war would have been substantially different."
Fourteen students out of 3,000, were invited to attend a writing workshop at The People’s House: A White House Experience on June 17, sponsored by the White House Historical Association.
When asked what she was most Interested in for Nationals, Kadence replied, "I am incredibly excited to see the People’s House while we are visiting! I’ve always been interested in the White House and our presidency. I am overall so excited to show off my hard work in such a beautiful, and important place!"
Her wish came true . . . She was selected to participate in a writer’s workshop at The People’s House as they were impressed with her work. Congrats NHDAZ Kadence Johnson!!
And THANKS to her teacher, Donna Gustafson from Santan Jr High in Chandler who took two students, Sofia Piccinini and Kadence Johnson, to National Competition in June.
