Jordan M.

1st Place Winner. Jordan is a senior in high school from South Carolina who dreams of going to college and becoming a teacher. 


 "I wrote this essay because I believe learning to love yourself is really important. Self-love isn’t just about confidence or appearance, but about knowing your worth, setting boundaries, and protecting your heart. My faith has helped me see myself the way God sees me, and that has shaped how I value myself and the relationships I choose. Through this essay, I hope to remind others that self-love isn’t selfish, it’s necessary, and it can help guide us toward healthier, safer relationships."
