I am eternally grateful for receiving such a generous scholarship award to help fund my attendance at art school. I truly mean it when I say that receiving this scholarship has completely changed my life and the course of my artistic journey. To the Lee Family, thank you for seeing something in my application and gifting me this award out of all the outstanding applicants. I firmly believe that art school should not be reserved for those of affluent backgrounds, and I thank you for gracing me with this opportunity to pursue my dream. I hope to honor Isaac through my pursuit of art as a lifelong career.

Hello, Lee family, I cannot express enough how joyful I was this morning upon confirming the news of receiving a scholarship, alongside my parents. Even after being accepted to the prestigious art school, SAIC, and receiving a portfolio merit scholarship, I still couldn't find a moment of happiness, as the immense financial burden my parents had to bear for me felt like an insurmountable wall of fear and worry. Seeing the staggering amount of student loans that I'll owe, I fervently prayed for a sign that the path I chose is truly the one desired by the Lord. Receiving the scholarship today has reassured me that it is indeed an answer to my prayers. I am truly grateful for providing me with a platform to further grow towards my dream as an artist. Thank you also for alleviating my worries about finances and instilling in me the courage to move forward with a more daring heart on my learning journey. There are many who give up their dreams due to financial difficulties. I hope that through your valuable assistance, more youth with talent and dreams will have hope. And I aspire to be someone who provides meaningful assistance like you someday. With much respect and gratitude, Eun Jin Park
