Your Life in Six Words Contest Winners!

The six-word-memoir theme has spawned a fleet of books, including I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs By Teens Famous and Obscure. For this contest, Overlake Middle School students wrote their own six-word memoirs, focusing on their lives overall or something that has had a significant impact on their lives. Winners were chosen by faculty/staff votes.
