The Rhodes Scholarship Personal Statement

I'm lucky to have had the necessary encouragement from friends and family to finish this essay and be named one of UNT's Rhodes Scholarship Nominees.  Now I get to sit at the big kid's table and possibly become one of 32 Americans selected each year as Rhodes Scholars. 

Finishing this essay took a piece of me literally, but with 75 drafts and more than 2 months later, I present my Rhodes Personal Statement.

I guess we will see what happens in the District 8 selection committee meeting rooms ... (can you believe I'm still not satisfied?)
