Inspired by Song - September Contest Winners Announcement - "Inspired by Heroes"

 


It's finally time to announce the winners of the September Inspired by Song! contest.  This month's theme was "Inspired by Heroes".   


I would like to thank ALL of the participants for entering.  As with all of our contests, each entry will receive 200 bonus points, in addition to the regular 200 points for posting.


I would like to apologize to those of you who entered this time around.  I'm sorry that it took us so long to get this one judged.  Our personal lives took priority lately.  Imagine that.


SO, who are this month's big winners, anyway?


 


Well, just take a look below......


 


FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE HAVE A TIE FOR FIRST PLACE!!!!!!


 


    


ELIZABETH NIEVES - GRAND PRIZE - 1000 BONUS POINTS



 Inspired By Heroes...Remembering Betty Burgess Avery


Elizabeth's post about a beloved teacher and mentor from her past was both poignant and eloquent.


 


 


    













MELISSA GRANT - GRAND PRIZE - 1000 BONUS POINTS


Hero's come in all shapes and sizes. Inspired by Hero's. 


This intensely personal post was memorable and (truthfully) a bit frightening to read as a father of three.  Thanks for sharing this story with us, Melissa.


 


 


   



ELAINE MANES - 500 BONUS POINTS


Inspired by Heroes-September 11, 2001 


In her entry, Elaine shares an interesting story about an experience she had a few days after 9/11, when we were all united in our grief and in our respect for those who risked (and lost) everything to help.  


  


 



 


LIZ MORAS - 500 BONUS POINTS 


Can One Man Make a Difference? - Terry Fox - A Marathon of Hope - September 14 - Inspired By Heroes


I remember watching a movie on HBO years ago about Terry Fox, but I didn't know the whole story until I read Liz's post.  Incredible!


 


 



 


SUSAN MANGIGIAN  - 500 BONUS POINTS

Susan enumerates several worthy heroes in her post, several of which are probably heroes for most Americans.

Not to be confused with "Soul Man", Larry is the sole man to place in this month's competition.  Kudos, Larry!
