Your belief in my potential strengthens my resolve to succeed and to make a positive impact in my community. Your support has not only provided me with the financial assistance I need to continue my education, but it has also given me hope and motivation during times when it can be challenging to keep moving forward.

Thank you so much for selecting me! I am so sorry for your loss and appreciate the ability you are giving others to further their careers while starting the conversation of mental health. As a first generation student of a single disabled mother from a low income household I have faced many obstacles that have affected me mentally. I have been able to maintain my status an Honor Roll student and hope to eventually bring my knowledge of how important mental health is to my career in health care. Receiving this award is going to help me purchase my nursing skills lab bag and it has taken some of the financial stress off my shoulders. Once again thank you for this great blessing.

Thank you for considering me! I am an Honor roll student and the recipient of many certificates of accomplishments. I come from a low-income household where I am a first-generation student. I want to become a leader and role model for other young adults pursuing a career in health and medicine. I am sorry for your loss. My goal in life is to become a doctor and to assist my patients with their mental health. I hope I can apply again one day. Thank you again! ( ＾◡＾)っ
