Taking it to the next level

Hello AC Student Voices community,

I have recently entered a contest to win a blogging contract with Sunglass Hut. Judges will choose nine finalists to go to the next round and participate in in-person interviews in New York City. The tenth finalist will be chosen by public vote. This would be the opportunity of a lifetime and I am using all forms of social media to rally votes for my entry. Check out the link and if you like my entry please vote, you must validate your vote via your email address once you place it.

Thank you in advance!

Health Care for Young Adults: Albright Style

For my project, I will localize President Obama's Health Care Reform. The Plan has a special section that applies specifically to young adults, and how it will change their health care situations. In the new plan, one of the new stipulations will be that young adults can stay on their parent's plans until the age of 26, if their jobs don't offer them a good benefit package. However, the law won't officially come into play until around fall/January, so many graduates might be uninsured. I'll interview seniors since it is affecting them the most at this time, and get some of their feedback. For my multimedia element, I will include a video segment of Obama signing the law.
