Even though I did not win this scholarship, it means a lot to me to be a finalist. This achievement has encouraged me to keep working on my goals until I get what I need. I will keep applying for this scholarship until God feels is my time to win it. I will keep working on my writing skills so my application can become the boldest out of others. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a finalist and I hope God blesses you a lot.

Dear Ms. Inman-Vann, I want to thank you for considering me as a finalist for the 'Solomon Vann Memorial Scholarship'. Few things in this world mean more to me than pursuing an education because, as you put it, being educated gives you choices and a chance at something more in life. For getting me one step closer to that goal, I want to thank you again and regardless of the outcome, I am grateful to have been considered no matter what. I am deeply sorry for your loss, if your son was any reflection of you, then I can only imagine the wonderful man he would be today. Thank you for allowing someone to receive an education, there is truly no greater gift than that. Best regards, Keria Edler keriaedler@gmail.com
