Carver student puts his safe driving into award-winning words

 

Orane Douglas, a student at The New Schools at Carver, was the winner of the National Teen Driver Safety Awareness Essay Contest. He received $300 for being the first-place prize winner. After providing this acknowledgement, State Farm invited Douglas to the state capitol to have his picture taken with Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue for his outstanding accomplishment. State Farm was so impressed with Douglas that they mentioned offering him an internship during his sophomore year of college!

Congratulations, Orane Douglas and Carver!

Orane Douglas has always been linked with the term Genius! He was a student of the New Schools in Carver. He was the winner of the national teen safety awareness essay contest in driving. He was awarded $300 for winning first prize in it. The state farm then invited Douglas to the capitol and a picture was taken of him along with Georgia Gov Sonny Perdue. What an incredible achievement! Isn't it?
