Dear Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec, I want to sincerely thank you for selecting me as the recipient of the Public Service Scholarship. I am truly honored and appreciative to have been chosen for an award that recognizes and supports students committed to uplifting others through their future careers. Receiving this scholarship means so much to me. It significantly eases the financial responsibilities I face as I prepare for college, allowing me to focus more on finding meaningful ways to serve my community. Your generosity not only helps with tuition, but also encourages me to keep pursuing opportunities where I can make a difference. Over the past few years, I’ve made it a priority to build connections with individuals from all walks of life. These experiences have made me realize that the foundation of any strong community is rooted in understanding, empathy, and service. I’m not yet certain what my future career will look like, but I know I want to move forward with integrity, creativity, and kindness. These are the values that your scholarship and your firm’s motto, "Moving Forward Together," so beautifully embody. Your commitment to empowering students who want to help others truly inspires me, and I am grateful for your belief in my potential. Thank you again for your generosity and encouragement. I look forward to the day when I can give back and help others, just as you have helped me. Thank you, Gabriel May
