250 words is worth a $1,000

This week I had to write a 250 word essay in exchange for a $1,000 scholarship. It's a lot harder than it sounds because there's so many details I wanted to add but I made it within the requirements. There were a couple of prompts for me to chose from but I chose the prompt that said "Leadership: Tell us about someone in a position of leadership who has inspired your own goals for the future." I can only imagine how many kids are going to write about President Obama or Hilary Clinton or Oprah; I wanted to write about someone that I knew, that inspired my future career goals and who better to write about than the lady architect that donated money. She does what I aspire to do and two she is a woman who worked her way to the very top in a male-dominated career. So my essay is done and I wont know until spring if my essay was worth a $1000. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying loud.
