This is somewhat unorthodox for me but here goes..7 A good friend's sister had an article she wrote for class submitted to a competition for young journalists, and is trailing by less than 100 votes. The competition closes midnight tomorrow and a win here would make for a great entry in her portfolio/resume.

an ode to the air

She's like another sister to me and this would really mean a lot to her. She also has no idea I have done this, and has basically feeling she's lost. It would make for a huge boost in confidence as well. Thanks in advance to any who participate, there are 2 like buttons.. the one affecting the contest is above the share button adjacent to the title.

Cheers and happy new tear. Thanks again!

Do you just "like" to vote?

 

Voted too. Good luck to her!

 

I believe so. Whoever has the most likes, wins.

It takes a lot to get me to vote with facebook, but you've contributed a lot to the community, so the least we can do is give a few clicks in return.

 

Hey thanks a lot guys, we are within 30 votes of a tie!

Like I said this is not normally something I would participate in let alone solicit, but it would mean a lot make a great resume piece and a nice last minute surprise

 

Ok than I voted

 

Hey, I understand! I enjoyed the composition, and hope she wins. 30 votes BUMP.

 

"Liked." Now up to 694! Happy to help! Also a well written and exciting read

 

707 now .. Bump

 

717 now, bump!

 

I normally don't get involved in these as well, but I asked for your guys help with votes a while ago so I would be more then happy to help out. Best of luck to her

 

And of course I am more than prepared to return the favor!

 

Her competitor has had some crazy rally and we have been outstripped 910 to 724 at the last count

 

Drat! Well at least the FitFreaks lent support!

 

I'm glad you turned me on to this Chris... The young lady writes like a pro and I feel good about giving her a vote... That is quite a list of sources that she researched...

 

Voted. Good luck!

 

Thanks all! It was made much closer through your efforts, we took second in the end unfortunately. But much appreciated!

 

congrats anyway on a close finish. Next time!
