Hi Ms. Lee Porsha Moore, My name is Reka Burleson. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your granny. I am praying you feel the comfort and reassurance that God's everlasting love brings to heal our hearts. Thank you for providing this opportunity to help me reimagine my academic future with less debt. That is exactly what I did while waiting for the winner to be announced. I was very intentional about thinking positive no matter what my financial circumstances looked like. I am so grateful to have won this scholarship! It has given me so much joy! Your kindness will never be forgotten! I am blessed and I could feel your granny's light when I was notified I was the winner. If I can be honest with you spiritually- my faith and perseverance kept me going in hopes to win The Ruthie Brown Scholarship. Thank you for being a vessel to continue the legacy and passion of giving in honor of your granny! To Surpassing Limits, Reka Burleson
