This is incredibly late as I have been pretty busy starting my first semester of college, but I wanted to thank you all so much for choosing me as a winner of this scholarship! It means the world to me! This has helped me pay for housing here, so I don't have to take out student loans yet, and it has really taken a lot of stress off me and my family's shoulders. I am so thankful to all of you for supporting my dreams and goals, and helping me to achieve them!

I am so happy and beyond grateful for receiving this award! It means so much to me to know that you believe in my passions, my education, and my future. Having your support motivates me to persevere and do my absolute best. Your contribution will not go in vain. You've not only helped me financially, but you have also given me more confidence, drive, and determination to continue pursuing my dreams. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. THANK YOU Sandwich Islands Network Inc. for choosing me as a recipient for the "Aunty" Geri Kuhia Tribute Scholarship award and congratulations to the other recipients as well!
