This morning I received an email from Paul of Biopage that my essay, Children of War, was chosen as a winning entry for the Biopage Storytelling Writing contest. He sent me a Certificate of Award for winning the silver medal, and the prize incentive that went with it. I was touched by his email. I loved the essay since I am passionate about the subject matter. Children who suffer the consequences of war in warring countries. I cannot imagine how their tiny hearts would be suffering the trauma and fear which will last throughout their lifetime. No matter how hard they try to disguise the horrors of what they have experienced, in the event they survive the ravages of war, that is, they will never grow to be the humans they were meant to be when they were born. They would be scarred for a lifetime. Isn't it sad? Of course, they have the adults to blame for every kind of war that takes place in this beautiful world of ours. Now scarred as well. The ill effects of climate change are a disastrous outcome of the horrid situation. I want to thank Paul and the Biopage team for choosing the essay as a winner. The essay has previously won the Welters@The University of Baltimore's essay contest as well. So I am super happy that it has touched the hearts of the Biopage team and readers too. Have a great week ahead. I am sharing a copy of the Certificate for my readers here.
