Wyatt Powers

Hi, I’m Wyatt Powers, a 6th grader at a Christian school in Texas. I love to do lots of things like drawing, reading, drama, speech & debate, and learning history. When I’m not inside doing those things, I’m outside doing something else. I run cross country and am on swim, basketball, and football teams.

I became interested in history when I got a book about the presidents when I was about 4, and subsequently memorized them when I turned 5. After that, I would read about history, watch history themed movies, listen to audiobooks and do all I could to study up on the subject. All that to say, I LOVE history.

This bio wouldn’t be complete without me talking about Jesus. He came into my life when I was in kindergarten, and we’ve been best friends since. My faith has been encouraged by going to a Christian school.

When I go to college, I would like to double major in Pre-law (If offered) and American History, with a minor in political science. After that, I want to go to law school and become a lawyer. With the law experience, I will be ready to run for public office. My highest aspiration is to become President of the United States and have a PhD in History/Political Sciences.

I would like to thank my science teacher who made entering this contest a test grade so we would try our hardest. I’d also like to thank Jesus, Constituting America, and my parents for helping me out. God bless the USA.

    Hi Wyatt! I found your website from a link that Rep. Beth Van Duyne placed in her newsletter. You are an impressive young man! Keep up the good work in teaching others that America is an amazing country, and our Constitution is what makes it so!
