Dear Denese, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being chosen as the recipient of the Anthony McPherson Memorial Automotive Scholarship. It truly means a great deal to me to be selected for this honor. Receiving this scholarship eases the financial demands of my education, making it much more manageable for me to focus on developing my skills at Lincoln Tech’s Union campus. Your support gives me the freedom to invest more fully in my hands-on learning and classroom experiences. Growing up, cars have always been my passion, and I’m committed to building a strong career as an automotive technician. This scholarship not only brings me closer to my goal, but also inspires me to carry on Anthony McPherson’s legacy by promoting safe driving and giving back to the community. Your dedication to raising awareness about drunk driving and helping students like me pursue our automotive dreams is truly inspiring. I hope to honor Anthony’s memory through my work and by advocating for responsible choices within the industry. This scholarship will stay with me far beyond school. It will remind me to work hard, take pride in my craft, and honor the opportunity I’ve been given. I am truly grateful to the family, friends, and supporters who made this scholarship possible. Thank you again for your kindness and belief in my potential. Your generosity is opening doors for me, and I look forward to the day when I can make a positive impact in the automotive field. Thank you, Steven Mangiapane
