One of the kids that I help mentor has entered into a contest for full tuition at lees mcrae college. The poll ends tonight and she is less than 100 votes away from winning. If you have a second go here: https://www.facebook.com/questions/510337872336197/ and vote for Melissa Hooper.

a popularity contest for full scholarship? what a crappy way to do it.

I voted (I assume there's no "enter" button and all you do is click the bullet)

Is she a minority

No enter button and all kinds of drama associated with this poll (and no she is not a minority). This kid is truly amazing and deserves this opportunity simply because of her incredible character. If you don't believe me look at the responses in the thread. She came in and silenced her opponents critics which shows incredible class for an 18 year old highschool senior.

And thank you for voting!

teh wins?

Yup and only by about 50 votes thanks!

Oh. She's amazing. Damn fine reason for her to get money. If only I got paid for being "amazing," then maybe I wouldn't have an ass ton of student loans.

Not the first time adder has requested a pole.

Congrats.

A friend of mine had to get enough likes on facebook for her to get a job. A scholarship or a contest is one thing, but a salaried full time position that requires a college degree? Are you shitting me?
Granted, part of the job included a lot of public relations/communications/outreach, so it's very possible that proving your popularity on facebook could have something to do with it, but still o_o

no arguments from me about the stupidity of the entire idea. That being said if anyone deserved it she did.
