Waz,

It looks like it's easier to buy votes around here than cards.

Best of luck from the dad of one engineer, not in the railroad business.

Yeap, once you know where to look and things are populated already in cache, it takes literally 20 seconds or so to vote, maybe less. Chalk another one up...

Part of my morning routine now:

1) Start coffee
2) Sign in and vote for Waz
3) Wait another 10 minutes for coffee to finish

Okay... So I Do Think that THiS "OT" iS One of the Most Important "OT's" that We've Ever had as a NET54 Community... imho

Truly... Joshua, aka "Wazoo", is one of the Youngest In Our Land of Prewar Addicts & the Impacted that this could have on his Life Could Be Very Substantial. Some of us, back in the day, Could of used just a little bit of Help just to get pointed in the Right Direction! From my own personal experience, It would of Nice to of had just Some kind of Mentor in order fir me to Help "Set the Stage" fir my Beginning! It wasn't until I was 24 that I met such a Gentleman! His Help Completely Change my Life!

I believe that I can See that Joshua has Some Good Folks iN His Life! My Objective Here iS THiS ~ We Can Easily do just a little Bit to Help out a Young Man that has a Passion for Not Only Cards... But to further His Education in Life! I Completely Respect Joshua for coming on the 54 & SeekiN Our Help...

"Joshua, You Have my Admiration!!!"

A lot uS Realize what it takes to get through College... & at the End of the Day, with Your Degree iN Hand... Government Borrowed Money Will Play a Major Factor Within the Possibilities of Weather or NoT Mr. Wasilewski Will be Able to "BuY THaT CaRD"... THaT's RiGHT ~ "The HoLY GRAiL"(Leon's Cy Young GHoST SCRaP ~ I Knida think a little bit like Johnny when it comes to the White Boarder World ~ Forget the Wag's, Cy's Scrap will Be SittiN oN the Throne :-)

On a personal Note... I presently have 5 members of my family going to College... My Wife even decided to go back to College when I got injured on the job in 2013, & She hasn't been to School in over 20 years

It's the least we can do to help one of our own, Joshua. I think i have it down to about 10 seconds to vote.....

[mrmantlecollector]

You got my vote.

[wazoo]

Thanks!

Second page bump.

[bnorth]

A bump with my morning vote for wazoo.

[wazoo]

Bumpity bump. Coming to an end soon.

[joeadcock]

Joshu

Sorry, I just read this thread for first time and just voted.

I agree with others, I like your spirit for your age. As you, I dont believe
ever in excuses.

My father is an electrical engineer and being an immigrant, he worked during the day time and went to school at night for years to get his degree in the 1960's. He showed me nothing but work ethic. I continue as him(though in a different field)

Good luck to you.

[smotan_02]

Josh,
Just saw this for the first time and voted. Wish I could have seen it earlier.

Incredible essay. At my college, all the freshman men were required to take a boxing class. After the first day of class, the instructor said to us. This class will probably teach you enough to get your @$$ kicked in a real street brawl; but what it will do is teach you to take a hard punch right in the face, shake it off, and then come back with more intensity." Even as a 18 year old, that lesson has stuck with me for life.

You'll forever appreciate the fact that you were able to learn that lesson sooner than your peers.

[wazoo]

Great stories both of you! Thank you for sharing and voting. I always enjoy hearing a new story and learning more life lessons.

[pawpawdiv9]

I voted again.

[mrvster]

AWESOME!! going to vote

[bnorth]

Keep it on the 1st page bump.

[Kenny Cole]

Just voted. Good luck!!!

[wazoo]

Thanks guys. Were coming into the final 10 days so keep this voting up!

As someone putting the deposit on a 4 yr degree today (for my daughter) I know it's not cheap to go to a good college. Good luck Wazoo!!

And I copied your first post below so folks looking at the thread can easily click the link included and find you. Once the first vote is placed the subsequent ones take about 10-15 seconds.....



Hello everyone!

Hope all is well. As many of you know, I will be heading off to college at the end of this year. This is a very exciting time in my life. I have been accepted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, Clarkson University, the University of Vermont, and a couple others in pursuit of a degree in civil engineering. This is a great undertaking and I have made it my goal to walk out of college with as little debt as possible. Unfortunately, one cannot escape engineering school without paying $60,000+ a year. Even with merit and financial aid, the debt will greatly burden me. I have entered a scholarship contest which is located within the New England area. It is known as the Hood Sportsmanship Scholarship. I am posting this to the board because I would greatly appreciate if everyone voted for me for this scholarship. It would open many more doors. All you need to do is click Vermont, Mount Saint Joseph Academy (my school), and Joshua Wasilewski. Then you can read my essay about sportsmanship and cast a vote if you choose to do so. Once you submit the vote, please check your email/spam and click on the link in the email it sends you to confirm the vote. After you confirm the email, you can vote daily without having to reconfirm your email address. I do not expect individuals to vote every day, but the more I receive, the better chance I have of winning this scholarship. "Individuals may vote from 9:00 a.m. EDT on March 23, 2015 through 3:00 p.m. EDT on April 24, 2015 (the “Voting Phase”)." I really appreciate all the hope and the supportive community of Net54.

I'm praying. Fortunately Vermont isn't that large of a state and I've been diligent, as well as many other individuals, with daily voting. I appreciate this support.

[wazoo]

I don't tweet but I just voted. And I would rather place a vote for Wazoo than most politicians.
