Dr. Chang texted me the next week. “We have a
winner!” she texted. “The winner of the math contest
is Hans Brucker!”
I met Hans not long after. We met in his math
classroom.
Hans is sixteen. He is Dutch. His mom came with
him to the United States when he was twelve. He is
blond and thin.
“I am from the Netherlands,” Hans said. “My
English, sad to say, it is not so good .”The Winner
Winner Hans Brucker
