I am sincerely honored and appreciative to have received the Ms. Hester Richard Powell scholarship funds. I am extremely thankful to you Ms. Angela Powell for creating this scholarship and recognizing my contributions to community service and society. As I go to University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I will continue to honor Ms. Hester Richardson Powell by inspiring others, encouraging under-represented females to join the STEM field, and continuing to serve my community. This money will allow me to focus on studying and serving my community as opposed to the need to work while in school.
