Ancestors
Carly Joseph, Pontiac Notre Dame junior
I would ask all of my grandparents about what it was like when they were growing up.

Visionaries
Tyler Wilson, Rudyard senior
I would ask Martin Luther King Jr. how he was so brave.
Maria Buczkowski, Detroit Country Day senior

I would like to ask Steve Jobs how he came up with the idea of the Ipod gadgets.
Bailey Truesdell, Grand Blanc senior
I would like to ask Warren Buffett how he made his billions.
