What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the prize money I would give a financial gift to help my family, and a gift donation to my local church to help build a school for the deaf in Uganda, also give to a member who needs nursing care for her mother who has dementia, and special needs aunt pay off my debts, and pay for my college tuition.
