Welcome to the Hamomi Composition Competition

Our 12 class 8 students, (and upcoming graduates), typed and submitted essays based on a simple, yet massive prompt: write your autobiography. They did an astounding job. Read them to know and understand our students and their struggles a bit better.

Then you determine the winner! Vote for your favorite three here! Voting will go for one month - closing on November 3rd, 2012.
