Wow. Just wow. So, a few things. First, what kind of society are we living in that her "old" age of 24 and almost 25 is "too old" to compete in a pageant that usually has tons of college-educated women in it? I mean, some of them are in graduate school. That's pretty ageist. Second, it sucks that she already left her internship and program for a year to do the pageant only to get the rug pulled out from under her. Horrible! Third, she is already going into a field to help people---a field in which we need more people--but, her "old age" got her cut from the scholarship money. Last, if she is in school for social work, I am quite certain UPenn will allow her back to finish working on her MSW. I cannot see anyone turning down an already admitted student into such a program based on compassion because of this. This whole thing is just horrible for this young woman.
