Wyatt Powers

Hi, I’m Wyatt Powers, an 8th grader at a Christian school in Texas. I like to do many things, like play right tackle on the offensive line in football, draw, read books, and watch movies. When I grow up, I plan on majoring in either pre-law or American history and going to law school to be a trial lawyer. I was a winner of the contest in 2022 after my science teacher, Mrs. Lauden, made entering the We the Future contest a test grade. I was encouraged to enter this year by remembering how amazing the winner’s trip was. This bio wouldn’t be complete without me talking about Jesus. He came into my life in kindergarten, and we’ve been best friends ever since. I would like to thank my parents, Jesus, and Constituting America.
