Participating in Zonta club’s competition

Zonta club is an international organization found in the beginning of the XX century in Buffalo, New York along the lines of Rotary club. It is a service organization the aim of which is to advance the status of women worldwide. Each year there is a competition organized by Zonta for girls and the winner in it wins a scholarship or an award. In order to participate in this competition you have to be chosen by the members of your district and then to write a personal statement including details about yourself, a few essays and two references from teachers. I gave my best for this application but unfortunately I didn’t manage to win on national level – maybe there were better applications than mine. I hope the chosen girl would do good enough and win on international level. However this event gave me experience which would be really useful when applying to university later on.
