Dear Omnis Education, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your support through the OMNIS Scholarship. Receiving this award fills me with both gratitude and excitement as I prepare to transfer from community college to Western Oregon University. Knowing that you believe in the potential of students like me truly motivates me to keep moving forward, even when the journey feels overwhelming. This generous scholarship eases a significant financial weight as I take this important step toward earning my bachelor’s degree. As a first-generation college student from a migrant background, this support not only helps cover my tuition but also allows me to focus wholeheartedly on my psychology studies, build connections within my field, and lay the groundwork for becoming a bilingual therapist. I’m eager to give back by serving communities that face barriers in accessing mental health care because of language or cultural differences. Your mission to empower resilient students who want to continue their education resonates deeply with me. I’m inspired by your commitment to fostering opportunity and inclusivity, and it’s my dream to one day establish a scholarship for students facing similar challenges, so they can pursue their goals without the constant worry of financial obstacles. Thank you for believing in my aspirations and for being such a meaningful part of my journey. Your kindness has sparked hope and determination in me, and I look forward to the day when I can make a difference for others, just as you have for me. Thank you, Crystal Garcia Gomez
