I need your help.
Click on the link above. Check out my profile & then vote for it by sharing it, tweeting it, google+ing it, stumbling it, or pinning it.
All above forms are appropriate and aggressive-sounding ways to show your support.
Not that tech savvy or internetworking established, but still want to help? Write a letter of support and send it to the MyDestination people in some completely viable, back alley way. I have discovered that the team behind this project is composed of incredible individuals. My correspondence with a young woman named Hannah made me believe in this contest. After exchanging emails with her, I felt like more than some dreamer, tossing applications into cyber space for prizes that seem too good to be true.
6 continents, 6 months, all expenses paid. They are going to make me write about and share my experience. They are going to expect me to love what I'm doing. They are going to give me $50,000 when I return.
(Terrible, terrible offer, ay?)
6 continents? I could see the world!
I could try crazy foods and meet crazy people! Beautiful people!
Limitless adventures and opportunities to expand my horizons!
6 months? June-December. I would ask the MyDestination folks to delay my departure by one months so that I could graduate my AmeriCorps program on July 26th, 2013. I would write letters home for the holiday season and return to the states in January...
With $50,000, returning home just in time to apply for schools! I could return to college! And not be totally in debt after one year! Glory hallelujah!
All-expenses paid? I'm not sure my family's ever heard the phrase... though, "If I win the lottery..." was a token phrase of my childhood.
They are going to make me write about it and share my experience? DID THEY KNOW THOSE ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!? Oh, glorious day, this cannot be more than a dream...
