It’s safe to say Martin County High School senior Sophie Araque-Liu was not expecting Selena Gomez to join her recent video chat with representatives of Google!
Then again, it’s not every day one is crowned a national #DoodleforGoogle champion! Sophie knows this fact very well- she’s faithfully entered the competition every year since middle school, honing her skills while hoping the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be hers. This year’s topic “I care for myself by…” spoke to Sophie in a deeply personal way. She thought about times she has struggled and attempted to find balance in her life, remembering the many people (her mom in particular) who helped her along the way.
Thanks in part to our generous Martin County community members, who went #ALLINMartin
Sophie has earned a $30,000 college scholarship for herself and $50,000 for the establishment or improvement of a tech lab at MCHS!
