I'm applying for the Patricia M. McNamara Scholarship. The essay topic is this:
"In 1000 words or less and in your own words, define diversity including an experience in which diversity has affected your life in a positive or negative aspect"
Here's a bit about Patricia McNamara...
Patricia M. McNamara was born on March 25th, 1931 in Chicago Illinois. From the start Patricia had many obstacles to overcome. Her father was a strict man with a catholic background. He believed, as others did of that generation, that educating women was not important. He denied his daughter the right to attend high school. Patricia's father refused to pay her tuition to catholic high school. The only way for her to attend this school was to get a job and pay her own way. At age fourteen Patricia started work at the neighborhood soda shop, and graduated school, basically making her own way..ect ect
