This 16-year-old is using her poetry skills to tell kids across the world that they matter.

CHADDS FORD, Pa. --

That's why she created the "I Matter" Poetry Contest in 2020. The first year, Hanson received about 150 submissions from students around the world. By 2022, that number had risen to over 700. This year's entry window recently closed, making way for the 2023 contest to open up. Each year, Hanson takes the top 10 poems and produces a hard-cover book. While she is traveling, she makes efforts to visit libraries and donate copies. Her most recent trip took place in London, which was fitting for the latest entry in her long list of awards., which recognizes inspiring young people from the UK and around the world.
