I have the most wonderful news to share with you. Last week was the school science fair, and I entered my bridge design project — the one I told you I had been working on since August. I built the bridge out of wooden sticks and string, the way the engineers do with real suspension bridges. I spent weeks drawing the plans. My teacher, Mr Otieno, let me use the school computer to look at pictures of bridges all around the world. I found one called the Brooklyn Bridge in America and one in Scotland — I wonder if you have ever seen it? When the judges came to look at my project, I explained everything about how the forces work and why my design could hold the most weight. I was so nervous, Margaret. My hands were shaking. They gave me first place.
