have told us our contest deadlines are too short, so from now on we'll be giving
ya'll two extra months to mail in your essays. You can send in essays any time
before the deadlines. Feel free to answer both! |

#102—Government budgets are tight. Can you think of a low-cost way that the foster care system could better prepare youth for aging out? What do you need to know that you don’t know now? Be specific.
Deadline: August 1, 2010
 to enter online.

#103—Describe a time when you felt pressured to do something you didn’t agree with. Who was pressuring you, and what made it hard to resist that pressure? Did you give in, or hold your ground? Either way, what did you learn from the experience?
Deadline: October 1, 2010
to enter online.
