Dear Stevens Family, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for selecting me as a recipient of the Stevens Family Scholarship. I feel truly honored and grateful for your support as I continue my journey in nursing. Your generosity has removed a significant financial hurdle, allowing me to focus more fully on my studies and my work as a CNA in long-term care. Balancing school, work, and family is not always easy, but the encouragement I receive from opportunities like this gives me strength to keep moving forward. Caring for others is my passion, and with your help, I feel even more inspired to pursue my goal of serving my community as a compassionate nurse. The mentorship and assistance you offer mean so much to students like me who strive to make a difference. Your commitment to uplifting future public servants and healthcare workers is truly admirable. Knowing that your family understands both the challenges and rewards of this path makes your support even more meaningful. I hope to honor your mission by bringing dedication and kindness to every patient I encounter, and by giving back to others when I can. Thank you for making such a positive impact on my life and the lives of so many others. Your kindness allows me—and countless other students—to turn our dreams into reality. Thank you, Talisa Church
