My POLE BLOG is up for a 10K Scholarship!
I'm super excited to announce that The Pole Story blog was nominated for a 10,000.00 Scholarship by CollegeScholarships.org. But I need your help to win!! The winner is determined by popular vote.I say you because without the pole community there would be no Pole Story.
YOU CAN VOTE FOR ME ONCE A DAY, EVERY DAY until NOVEMBER 28TH.
(Claire Griffin Sterrett)
I'm partly excited because, let's face it, Graduate School is insanely expensive. For those of you that don't know, I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Social Work with a focus on Community Planning and Organization and a subspecialty in Military Culture at the University of Southern California. My goal is to help veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars through somatic based therapies and through advocacy work.
Of course, The Pole Story is about women, pole dance, and politics. Which is why my secret plan is to teach pole movement to women transitioning out of the military as a way to support them through the change.
But the MAIN reason I'm excited about being a finalist in this scholarship is because it means that there is a blog on POLE DANCING that has won some mainstream academic recognition! And that is awesome for EVERYONE in our COMMUNITY!
So please please let's show the world how strong we are as a community!
A Vote for my blog is a Vote for the Pole World!
I say you because without the pole community there would be no Pole Story.
