It feels incredible! I truly did not think that I would win, so I am so surprised and happy! I’m really really proud of myself for making it so far, and I know the competition was not easy at all. How does it feel to be the winner of this year’s Doodle for Google contest? I want other people to know that you are also valuable, and you are worth something too, just like anyone else. For me and for so many other people, it can be easy to sacrifice too much of yourself and to push yourself too hard. Self care is important to me because I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. So I really wanted to encourage others to not be afraid to look for help if they need it! But when I did open up to them, I was met with so much love and support. A couple years ago, I was struggling a lot mentally and I was honestly pretty embarrassed and scared to tell my friends and family. I chose to focus on the theme of asking for help based on my own experiences. I feel like it’s very hard for me to show them just how much I appreciate them, so I’m grateful for the chance to be able to show them just how much I love them and give back to them in any way I can.Ĭan you share why you chose to focus on the theme of asking for help?

Sophie’s Doodle, titled “Not Alone,” speaks to the importance of leaning on your support system and asking for help in tough times. Today, we’re announcing Sophie Araque-Liu of Florida is our 2022 contest winner! For this year’s Doodle for Google contest, we asked students across the country to illustrate a Doodle around the prompt, “I care for myself by…” In July, we announced the national finalists, and the thoughtfulness, heart and artistry of one artist stood out in particular.
