Susan G. Williams Advancing Optimal Health

I felt this entry should win over the other two posted. This person really seems to be grounded and know where she is going! It sounds like she has had experience in many cultural issues that have helped her to become an open minded person. She has high goals and will be in school for a while so I am sure that money is a factor in getting this education. I enjoyed her essay, it was very inspiring. Continue

CampusRN Scholarship Program I Should be a Statistic...

A CampusRN Scholarship Program finalist for the Midwest region: My name is Jordan Kester and I should be a statistic; a contributor to averages, medians, and means.
