I participated in my first one this year and (surprisingly!) won. I did it for the scholarship, but I also did it so that maybe I could have a more influential voice in my community as a woman and a Filipina. It's still very difficult to have a say in anything around here (San Francisco, CA), but having the title helps. I'm still working hard to make some sort of difference before my year of service ends. Hopefully, strong and intelligent women such as you and myself can work together to wake this judgmental, harsh and stereotypical world up. This is a great post, both for its humor and its underlying message of "do what you want because you can."
