Sheroes Essay Contest
Do you know an amazing, talented, intelligent, unique, all around wonderful woman; someone who inspires you and touches the lives of everyone she meets? We want to hear about her! The Sheroes Essay Contest is a chance for you to write a short essay about an amazing woman you know personally. Detail what makes her your hero, how she touches the lives of others, and what you (and others) can learn from her about being an inspirational woman.
