Atlanta Blair Wins Essay Contest he hunt of a lifetime was awarded to 13-year-old Atlanta Blair of Lenoir, N.C., for her entry in the 2009 JAKES program essay contest. The NWTF’s JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) program is dedicated to helping youth discover the outdoors. Hundreds of youth-only events are held across North America each year to help kids up to age 12 learn about hunting, fishing, camping, archery and more. Blair’s winning essay, titled “How Would My Life Be Different If Hunting Was Not A Part Of It,” expressed the discipline and responsibility young people gain from hunting. Blair says in her essay, “This is how different I would be if [hunting] wasn’t a part of who I am. I wouldn’t have the responsibilities I have today. I wouldn’t have the discipline hunting has taught me. I wouldn’t have the same goals I have in life or have the respect that I have learned from hunting.” T Dominate the Darkness Atlanta Blair’s winning essay described how her life is influenced by hunting.
