HOME  >  SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS >  GROWING UP ASIAN IN AMERICA Growing Up Asian in America - 2008 Winners Winning Entries: Art | Essay/Poems Winning and Losing, Competition and Teamwork The Asian Pacific Fund selects a new theme for the Growing Up Asian in America contest every year, and with the Beijing Summer Olympics coming up, we asked students to share their ideas on winning and losing. Young people today are very aware of global competition, and it is a widely-held stereotype that Asian parents in particular expect their children to excel in school. We wanted to know how common this expectation for excellence actually is. How does competition and teamwork fit into students' drive to succeed? Does this change if students are involved in academics, sports, music or other arenas?   Art Winners   K-5 6-8 9-12 First Place Teresa Elena Dayrit Yennie Shyu Avon Kuo Second Place Joyce Wu Shona Hemmady Hsien-Ping (Jenny) Cha Third Place Diya Indoliya Julieanna Qi Kelly Chu Honorable Mentions Avni Barman Joyce Ching Emily Li Lingxuan Li Rachel Wu Shin Mei Chan Jennifer Gao Jung Gu Lee Cynlie Wang   Essay/Poem Winners   K-5 6-8 9-12 First Place Anh Cao Eleanor Chen Elaine Ma Second Place Alexander Yang Madhavi Muralidharan Olivia Simone Jew Third Place Alex Li Nicole Inamine Minh (Kevin) Nguyen Honorable Mentions Payal Ahuja Teresa Elena Dayrit An Quynh Nguyen Huda Iftekhar Isvari Mohan David Jihoon Noh Aditya Srinivasan Fanny Hoang Mark Montalban Christina Nguyen Daisy Shih Kristyna Smith Edmund Ye
