I should be awarded this grant because as a person who has lost it all after having it all, my perspective is of a depth not many can claim. I love casting a light on what others would turn a blind eye to , whether through my writing or in photos, if my work stirs emotions than my job is done, and if I receive this grant, I will certainly dedicate more time in creating more photos highlighting all that our world has to offer. Thank you for this opportunity.
