Dear Ms. Printon, I am writing to express my gratitude for selecting me as a recipient of the Kristinspiration Scholarship. I was so excited to receive the news, and I am incredibly honored to be chosen. I took a moment to read your bio on the scholarship page, and your story truly resonated with me. As a first-generation student and the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, I know firsthand how a family can champion education while facing significant financial hurdles. Receiving this award is not only a huge financial help but also a powerful source of encouragement, especially coming from someone who has walked a similar path. Your commitment to paying it forward is so inspiring and I hope to be in a position to do the same in the future. This scholarship brings me one step closer to graduating from the University of South Florida's nursing program debt-free and achieving my goal of serving vulnerable communities as a nurse. I promise to honor your investment in me, and I hope that one day I'll be in a position to help a future generation of students, just as you have helped me. I will send an update next year about my academic progress and would love to stay connected if you are open to it! I also wanted to ask if it would be okay to announce that I received this scholarship on LinkedIn. Attached is my LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kimtranuf Thank you once again for your generosity and belief in my potential. With sincere gratitude, Kim Tran
