Could you help...

a friend's daughter?
She entered an essay contest on CollegePlus.
All you have to do is "like" her essay.
Maria is currently in 2nd place and I'd love to help her win.

Here is the link:

Thank you!!!
If you would like to help spread the word and help Maria, feel free to share this on twitter (you may copy and paste):
