Alice Kim from Lizzie Nell Cundiff McClure Elementary in McKinney was one of 55 state and territory winners in the 16th annual Doodle for Google contest. Now she is hoping to advance to the finalist round.
In January, Google asked students to submit doodles to the prompt of “My wish for the next 25 years…”, in celebration of Google’s 25th anniversary.
In her submission, Alice said she was inspired by her grandfather's love of bees.
“I want to be a beekeeper because I want to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps. His love for bees inspired me. He said bees are precious because they have a big impact on balancing the ecosystem. Bees may become extinct if we don’t take care of them.”
