A friend of mine, Aaron Shamy, is in a scholarship contest. He was required to make an application video to enter and post it on YouTube. He makes it into the finals of the contest based on the youtube rating and the number of views.

So, check out his video and, if you feel like he's deserving, drop him a 5-star rating :)

Here is a video of him winning the X-games for speed climbing:

And here's his application video, but make sure to vote for it on youtube if you can:

Jul. 29, 2008 | 2:58 PM Pig-Fart says:

He seems a little full of himself (and rightly so), but in good humour. I gave him a 4.

Jul. 29, 2008 | 4:05 PM BoMToons responds:

Yeah, he can come across like that, but I assure you his attitude is fairly innocent.

Jul. 29, 2008 | 3:48 PM Frolikyn says:

That guys should be the president of the US or something.

Jul. 29, 2008 | 4:05 PM BoMToons responds:

Jul. 29, 2008 | 3:48 PM gankro says:

Jul. 29, 2008 | 4:05 PM BoMToons responds:

He's 27 I believe.

Jul. 29, 2008 | 8:21 PM Quebecboy says:

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:53 AM BoMToons responds:

thanks!

Jul. 29, 2008 | 10:29 PM Reyals says:

That's horrible, especially considering the videos that get high views.

5 stars and many views.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:54 AM BoMToons responds:

yeah, the interweb is a strange jungle.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:12 AM gankro says:

ONLY 27!?!? dear god... well thanks for ruining life for me... now I can't even dream of aspiring to awesomeness...

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:54 AM BoMToons responds:

Ha ha, yeah, he kind of makes most people feel inadequate in comparison.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 3:00 AM XxPeanutxX says:

He seems like a great guy, so he's 27 and just now decided on college? I like how he's not afraid to express his religion on tv, alot of people might think less of him, or try to make him look like an idiot for that. Five stars, I wish him the best.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:20 PM BoMToons responds:

I respect that too, takes courage to risk looking the fool.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 9:41 AM speeling says:

even though i didn't watch it, i gave it a 5star.

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:20 PM BoMToons responds:

Good jorb

Jul. 30, 2008 | 10:32 AM Murad136 says:

5'd.

I love his list and the ambition inside of him, he deserves it I guess, but is he accedemicly smart?

Jul. 30, 2008 | 12:21 PM BoMToons responds:

I don't really know, he's well spoken and definitely not an idiot, but probably more physically talented than academically.

Aug. 4, 2008 | 10:04 PM MichaelHurst says:

Even though I voted 5 before I just watched the video, and he really does deserve the 5 stars. He seems like a great guy and is very worthy of a sponsorship. He made me want to make a list of things I want to do.

Much appreciated!
