That's what makes Lutheran Brotherhood's program special. Past winners have continued to reap benefits. Katharine Duckett, the state of Tennessee winner for 2000, has been busy since last year's Forum. Last summer she participated in a cultural exchange to Bud, Norway, and in January, she was accepted to the Program for the Exceptionally Gifted at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. Duckett says being part of last year's Forum made the 2000 presidential election much more meaningful to her, and her experience as a Forum delegate continues to shape her life.
Teachers also praise the program.
One of my winners was a student who was failing almost all year, but got so inspired writing his letter. All rights reserved.
