KAYSVILLE — A Utah teenager is one of 35 finalists for a national prestigious award.
Morgan Becker, 16, from Kaysville, is among five other Air Force finalists from across the nation trying to win in their branch of the armed forces.
Morgan is a part of a military family, and as she moved to new places, she found solace in art. She was able to nurture that passion as an art teacher for other kids.
