HELLO! PLEASE HELP ME OUT :)

I know I'm not on this forum enough, but I'd like to say that I love this website.

There's freedom and creativity in every word, and the ideas that are bounced off from one creator to another is really what collaboration and art looks like.

I love creating, whether it's from my words or from my camera or from my heart.

A couple months ago, I was in the process of making two videos, each for different competitions. I didn't win one of them. It's fine.

I understand rejection and I embrace it, with a small bitter promise to myself to do better next time.

However, one of my videos has actually just been named a finalist in the Take Care of Texas video contest. And in order to move onto the final three and get a scholarship, I need votes!!

Votes, votes, and more votes for my video will help me in so many ways and I'll be forever grateful for your time and consideration. All you have to do is go to this link:

http://takecareoftexas.org/teens/video-contest/vote-your-favorite-video

In the 9-12th video category, please choose "Amanda, 11th Grade" .

It doesn't matter quite as much who you choose for the 6-8th video category because all the videos are great! Then, all you have to do is put in your first and last name, and click vote!

It's super easy and super fast, and it would mean the world to me if you could spare a little bit of your time.

If you have some extra time, you can even vote again after waiting at least 5 minutes!

Thank you so much for the support on this website. It's really us creators who make the strongest bonds, the strongest communities. It's part of the reason why I love being a creator.

It's practically the only way I'll really get to be a creator :)

Please help me out. Thank you so much.

Amanda
