One small step for Ma-tteo: Seven-year-old boy becomes youngest ever
Google Doodler after getting inspiration from Neil Armstrong

【聯合新聞網╱綜合報導】
 來自美國加州舊金山的7歲男童馬泰歐羅培茲(Matteo Lopez)，以一幅「太空生活」，
擊敗10萬7千名參賽者，成為Google首頁塗鴉大賽有歷史來最年輕的冠軍。

第四屆Google首頁塗鴉比賽，邀請幼稚園到12年級參加手繪Google標誌比賽，
今年的主題是「我將來想做的事」(What I'd Like To Do Someday.)。

羅培茲不僅獲得1萬5千美元（約43萬台幣）獎學金和一部電腦；
也為他的學校贏得2.5萬美元「約72萬台幣」的贊助。

其實看到其他作品之後，就會比較理解為什麼這個孩子能拿到冠軍了。
他展現了一種童真跟純真的夢想。
有時候我會很想回到自己是小孩時，畫畫的那種單純，不受世俗眼光所影響，
沒有什麼風格的問題，筆觸就算不成熟，但是屬於自己的那時候。
經過了許多時間，有時候即使想回去，也回不去了。
