"Important to Her Generation": Vote for Meaghan!

Spaulding High School senior Meaghan Parker of Rochester created a 'Google' design for a classroom assignment that was supposed to capture her hope for the future.

From her NECN interview with Lauren Collins:

As she describes, "the 'G' is for peace love and joy, the 'O' is also for peace, the second one is for recycling, the 'G' was for love, the tree was another environmental thing, and the 'E' is for gay rights."
They are all causes this 17-year-old says are important to her generation and which she's excited to promote through her beloved craft.

That's right - these are values important to her generation, the generation that will one day lead our country. I hope folks in certain other generations are hearing these words.

Meaghan is one of ten finalists in her age category; there were over 28,000 submissions overall. If you want to support an up-and-coming NH artist and her hope to make a difference, you can vote for her Doodle4Google entry this week.

If she wins, she'll receive a $15,000 scholarship - which she'd like to use to attend the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
