Hello Mr Boley, there are no words that can express my gratitude to be able to have been a candidate for this award and to then be selected. I have one semester left before I graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I plan to further my education even more in the field of Psychology. I believe that mental health is constantly ignored and swept under the rug, but I believe in being the change that I would like to see in the world. So, thank you for your helping hand in my journey in doing so, I will forever be grateful to you and your family.

In the months I've been working on scholarships, this is the first piece of recognition I've gotten for my essays. Though the people around me don't entirely understand my excitement over being a finalist as opposed to a winner, I am genuinely over the moon to be recognized for the work I've put in; no matter how small or big that recognition is. This has pushed me to work even harder with my scholarship applications, and I'm so grateful. The fact that other people can see the potential in me is such a wonderful feeling. Thank you so much.

Being a winner of this scholarship will unlock many opportunities I didn't know I could unlock. There's nothing else I want to do more than being a psychiatrist. It's one of the few things I'm sure I want to be. I go through my life a lot for the past 4 years just living day by day not knowing or anticipating whats going to happen to me and majority of the time I am okay with that but I feel like I shouldn't be okay with it. I know where i want to be in the future and I do see myself there one day though but I can't reach those goals with that type of mindset. I thank you for considering me for this scholarship because that means you see potential in me and most of the time I think people don't see much in me. You don't me but you have showed me what I am capable of when I put my mind to it. So thank you for choosing me to be a finalist in this scholarship and this one of the many steps its going to take to reach my dreams.

Thank you so much for considering me for this award. Being a finalist means a lot to me. I also lost someone very close to me, and I think about her every single day. I am so sorry you lost Brian at such a young age. I am sure he would be proud knowing his memory is being lived on through the generous awards. Thank you again for making me a finalist. God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Gabrielle Przepiora
