The Doodle for Google competition each year invites students around the country to submit doodles for the search engine’s home page based on a theme. This year’s theme was “I care for myself by … .” The winning doodle is used as the search engine’s daily doodle on the home page for one day — this year, that day was Tuesday, Aug. 16.
The winning doodle was submitted by Sophie Araque-Liu, a high school student in Florida. It depicts two people sharing a hug standing in for the second “o” in “Google.” In describing her submission, she said, “I care for myself by accepting others' care for me. Often, I struggle to shoulder a burden on my own and forget that I have so many people, like my mom, who care about me and want to help me. Opening up and letting others support me not only relieves my stress — it also lets me tackle things I could never do on my own.”
