Dear Pruitt Family, Words cannot describe how I feel about receiving this scholarship. I am grateful, honored, and blessed to be selected for the ADP scholarship by the Pruitt family. This journey has been challenging and quite stressful, especially when considering how I’ll afford graduate school. I invest a significant amount of my time in writing scholarships, and sometimes I ask myself, "Is it worth it?" I have considered not attending grad school given the possibility of not winning any scholarship. Winning this scholarship has inspired me. It reminded me of how it is possible and how important it is to stay resilient. This is my first won scholarship on Bold.org, and now I know that it IS possible. I am now inspired and feel empowered. Although I feel bad for the other finalists who are just as deserving as I am, I believe that everybody has their own time and moment to shine, and mine is right now. Thank you to the Pruitt Family for giving me motivation and hope. Thank you for investing in students like me. People like you are what truly make this world a better place. Thank you, Dang-Uy Nguyen
