I’m a Scholarship Finalist – Vote for Me

October 31, 2006 · 43 comments

I woke up to a great email this morning. Apparently I have been chosen as a Top 10 finalist for a $5,000 blogging scholarship for college students. The final winner is chosen via an online vote, so if you would like to vote for me you can. Do everything you can to spread the word about this and vote for me! I have over $100,000 of tuition to pay off and that number grows by $30,000 every year. Thanks, Paul.
