The essay topics for this round of the competition ranged from using technology to keep us connected, to using open\/big data to improve communities and lastly, using social media to help promote non-profit causes. We received almost 400<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0essays answering the range of topics, and narrowed it down to five for the reviewing committee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the five finalists, Bradley Lewis impressed us with a full-fledged social media plan for a great non-profit he works with, Bike First! Bradley has volunteered with the organization over the last few summers helping children with mental and\/or physical disabilities learn how to ride a bike. His essay displays how well he understands the power that social media can have to provide exposure for such a deserving group.

I love theatre, and that&#8217;s where I have my roots as an actor, but I am very open to and interested by film and television. I&#8217;m excited to get to go to New York City which itself it such a huge hub for acting. Of course, I know it&#8217;s going to be tough, but what&#8217;s worth it if you don&#8217;t have to work for it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congrats Bradley!
