This competition begins on August 17, 2012 and ends on October 19,
2012 for the award of $2000.00 (two thousand dollars)!



To participate, follow these simple steps: Write an essay with no more
than 750 words (prompt can be found below). Click on the "Register

Upon winning, the student will prove disability through their

substantially limits one or more major life activities of such an
individual." A record of such an impairment or being regarded as
having such an impairment.

you enter the work force"?
