NOW explains that their endorsements are intelligent, well-rounded authentic women, but Fazzone wants to know if they are really women who bask in the sex object role, and what are the shows NOW endorses are really about?

With this attitude, success for many would be out of reach, but with the idea of setting goals for self motivation, everyone can be successful with hard work. In my life I make sure to set goals and strive to achieve them but even though I may not reach all of them I can say to myself in the end that I have tried my hardest and have accomplished something along my journey. I believe I need this scholarship because it is a big step in achieving my goal of going to college and getting a career started in chemical engineering.
