“Having scholarships in my hand makes me feel more confident that the path I’m on is right, that I’m just as capable as others."
“Once I set a goal and I tell myself ‘you’re going to do this,’ it may take a while but it’s going to get done.”
"If I didn’t have the scholarship and I had to work full-time, I might have given up. It’s allowed me to get back up on my feet.”
“I want to be a person who helps put as many people’s lives back together as I can.”
“This scholarship will allow me to follow my dream of being the first person in my family to attend college and eventually medical school."
