    I am filling out a scholarship application for the Global Young Leaders Conference and they gave me two essays to fill out one of them is "Discuss some issue of personal, national or global concern as it relates to leadership." do you think it would hurt me or help me if I wrote about LGBT Equality?:confused:

    That will greatly depend on who judges it, unfortunately.

    It depends.

    I think that, since this is currently a hot potato, you would have to write about it in terms of human rights, fairness, and societal betterment. If your slant was too emotional or too much about victimization, then it might not come across as well. This will be a tricky thing to pull off so it's "all things to all people."

    There is plenty out there to write about. Clearly, there are numerous things you are passionate about since you are apparently of the variety to be looking for scholarships!
