Winning Entry "The Reason" In ReBOOT/PtboCanada.com Computer Contest

May 25, 2011/ PTBOCANADA

Congrats to Alex Crowley, 25, who is the winner of our ReBOOT/PtboCanada computer contest for this submission:

The REASON

By Alex Crowley:
My mother is the reason. She taught me Right from wrong.
My mother is the reason. Early in my life she taught me our Culture.
My mother is the reason. Achieving a goal she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Study hard and you will find your dreams.
My mother is the reason. Ojibway is the language she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Networking is something I could teach my mom.

Thank you for reading the poem dedicated to my mother. I could help teach her things on the computer that she never learned as a Native child growing up.
