Literally, Sucker Punch means a sudden punch, usually a hard one that throws you off balance. Alright with that idea in mind, you probably know what this contest is all about. All of us face various life challenges and struggles. Some are small, some are huge. Some last for a short while, others are chronic. When we wake up in the morning and put on a nice cloth while leaving the house, many of our friends and neighbors wont know what we are battling inside. So its time to open up, and probably reach out for some help. Through this contest, we want to know what is eating you up. ### Sucker Punch - what we want you to do So in this contest, we want you to tell us the top 3 challenges, problems or struggles you are currently facing.
