In the last few days of October, The Fountain Magazine announced its opening for her 2019 Essay Contest in an edited release thus:
“We at The Fountain believe that every voice should be heard and that challenges have a capacity to offer insight into our a person’s lives.
We all face new challenges in our lives. They can go from massive undertakings like relocating to a new place, starting an academic journey or sometimes as simple as, routine tasks, such as getting out of the bed in the morning and other ordinary activities which depression can turn into insurmountable challenges.
We want to hear about your challenges and how you mentally, physically, and/or spiritually prepare for them. How do you find strength when you feel it does not exist? And what have you learned, or are you learning, from your challenges?”
