Essay Contest – Win a $2,500 scholarship

open to 11th and 12th graders in San Diego County

Your essay should thoughtfully answer any one of the following questions:

1) The state has frozen funding for social services for the poor, and San Diego County, unlike many other counties, has decided it’s not going to help bridge the gap. Do you agree with that decision? If so, what is your view on the level of social services the county should provide? If not, how should the county fund more social services?

2) Should the city of San Diego recycle sewage to buttress our supply of drinking water? San Diego is facing a long-term water shortage. There are efforts to conserve water, build seawater desalination plants and invest billions to shore up other sources. But the city has been reluctant to use sewage because of concerns about cost and the perception of drinking purified wastewater. Should the city continue studying this new source and implement it or not?

3) Was San Diego Unified School District right to not take part in the California application for Race to the Top? Race to the Top is a competition between states to get more federal stimulus money for schools by promising to do specific reforms that the Obama Administration wants, such as including student test scores as part of teachers' evaluations. San Diego Unified didn't participate in Race to the Top because it argued that it knew too little about what it would entail. Its elected leaders are also wary of some of the reforms.

Official Rules:

1) Essays must be original work, typed, 1,000 words or less and must be received on or before Friday, May 21, 2010.

2) To enter, students must live in San Diego County, be enrolled in an accredited high school in San Diego County, and be in 11th or 12th grade.

3) The student must write the essay and any quotations or copyrighted material must be identified properly.

4) Scholarships can be used for any college, university, or trade school.

5) Each student may only submit one essay.

6) Essays will be judged on insightfulness, supporting facts and evidence, development of ideas and style.

7) Submit your essay preferably via email to summer@voiceofsandiego.org. You will receive a confirmation of receipt within 24 hours. If you do not, contact the voice office at 619.325.0525. We will also accept essays by U.S. mail to voiceofsandiego.org Essay Contest, 2508 Historic Decatur Rd, Ste 120, San Diego, CA 92106.

8) Please be sure to include your name, address, phone number, school you attend, and grade level (11th or 12th) in the email or, if mailing, on a cover sheet. Please do not have that information on your actual essay, as essays will be reviewed and judged without identifying information.

Questions about the process of the essay contest should be sent to summer@voiceofsandiego.org. Questions or guidance about specific essays will not be answered. Winner will be notified by June 11, 2010 and the five finalist essays will be published on the voiceofsandiego.org website during the week of June 14th. Thank you for your participation.

Oscar Jimenez Scholarship Application

Gamma Zeta Alpha Latino Interest Fraternity Inc.

Oscar Jimenez Scholarship Application

San Diego State University; Zeta Chapter

GZA History

Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is a Latino interest fraternity which was founded in the fall of 1987 at California State University, Chico by fifteen young, diverse, and educated men that saw a need for an organization that would uphold brotherhood and facilitate their needs. Among those needs were the three principles that they shared in common. Those principles have become the foundation upon which this fraternity has grown upon: Academic Excellence, Community Service, and the promotion of the Latino Culture. Gamma Zeta Alpha was established for the purposes of uniting and directing all persons interested in promotion of the Latino culture and ethnic origins via community interaction and the educational system. Since then, chapters have been founded at San Jose State University, University of California at Berkeley, California State University at Northridge, California State University at Fresno, San Diego State University, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at Davis, Stanford University, and University of California at Santa Barbara and more.

Zeta Chapter History

After experiencing the various degrees of fraternal organizations at San Diego State University, a group of dedicated men decided to gather other like-minded college students to address the reality and need of a different type of fraternity on our campus. As Latinos, we notice and value the comfort and support that can only come from strong family ties. Together, this group established the campus club “Raza Unida,” as the initial step to establishing a chapter of Gamma Zeta Alpha at SDSU.

The founding fathers not only noticed, but w ere concerned about the lack of community involvement and unity among the Latino population at SDSU and San Diego in general. Gamma Zeta Alpha, with its core principals of Academics, Brotherhood, Community Service and Maintenance of the Latino Culture, proved to be the best organization to help us develop, explore and execute our ideas and beliefs.

On May 31, 1997, they earned the privilege to establish and became the founding fathers of Gamma Zeta Alpha, Zeta Chapter, San Diego State University. Since then, our fraternity has established and maintained a level of professionalism and respect that is recognized throughout California. Whether we are encouraging each other towards graduation or supporting each other afterwards, all brothers of the Zeta Chapter are proud of what we started; and we will continue to be proud, thanks to the classes that will forever maintain, develop, and surpass our goals and achievements.

Oscar A. Jimenez

Oscar Jimenez was a Zeta Chapter Brother who lost his life on April 11, 2004 performing an act of heroism, while on active duty in Iraq. We have chosen to commemorate his life and the legacy he left us by offering scholarships to deserving students who exemplify the goals of our fraternity. The members of the Zeta Chapter at San Diego State University would like to encourage graduating under-represented minority high school seniors and community college transfer students to apply for this scholarship.

'Cox Conserves' Seeks Environmental Star In Your Neighborhood

Cox Communications is once again inviting the public to nominate San Diegans who inspire neighborhood conservation efforts through its popular Cox Conserves Heroes program. The awards program, in partnership with The Trust for Public Land and sponsored by Think Blue San Diego, is seeking the public’s help to nominate and vote for those individuals who have taken it upon themselves to create, preserve or enhance places for everyone to enjoy such as parks, greenways, gardens, waterways, plazas, streets and public squares.

Anyone can nominate a Cox Conserves Hero in two categories: “Under 18” and “18 and Over.” A total of six finalists will be selected (three from each category), and the public will vote online for the winners. Last year, three adult and three youth finalists were honored for their work in planting and restoring a mid-city canyon and watershed; recycling efforts at an East County high school; the removal of trash and non-native plants from an urban canyon; clean up and restoration of a South Bay park; creation of a North County community garden; and protection of a North County watershed.

First-, second- and third-place winners in each category will receive $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500 respectively to donate to a local environmental non-profit organization of their choice.

The $35,000 in award money will be provided by the James M. Cox Foundation and The Cox Kids Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Cox Communications. The Cox Kids Foundation is funded by Cox employees, who donate money directly from their paychecks and is then matched 100 percent by the company.

The public can visit 4sd.com to nominate.

Moonwalking - The Science Behind Exploration of the Moon: Past, Present and Future

It has been nearly 40 years since Americans last walked on the surface of the Moon - one of the greatest
achievements of civilization. And yet many of us know very little about our closest neighbor in space. Why does the Moon
show phases? How did it form, and what can it tell us about the history of the Earth? How did we get there, and how can we use
advances in technology to get there again? What is it like to survive and work in lunar gravity? Should we eventually colonize the Moon?

Using hands-on activities, interactive physics demonstrations, and rare restored archival footage from the Apollo missions, Dr. Philip Blanco
will take us on a journey in space and time to inform and inspire the next generation of explorers.

All participants will receive free admission to the San Diego Air and Space Museum, including the new Science of Aliens exhibition.

Please join us for an exciting and informative session of hands-on learning presented by
Dr. Philip Blanco, Director, Project ASTRO, Professor, Grossmont College.
