    Dear Rachel, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for selecting me as the recipient of the Brett Brakel Memorial Scholarship. I’m incredibly grateful for your support and for the chance to be recognized in connection with Brett’s legacy. Receiving this scholarship is a tremendous help, as it eases the financial challenges of pursuing my degree and allows me to focus even more on my studies and my commitment to the softball team. Your generosity means I can continue to grow in the two areas that have shaped my life—teaching individuals with special needs and excelling on the softball field. As someone who is passionate about education and athletics, I’m honored to carry on Brett Brakel’s legacy through this scholarship. I share Brett’s love of learning and the game, and I strive every day to embody the same dedication, compassion, and perseverance. Your kindness and commitment to supporting students like me inspire me to give back and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I look forward to using the opportunities you’ve made possible to become the best special education teacher and student-athlete I can be. Thank you so much, Jocelynn Hale
