Dear Strand and Terry Family, I am writing to express my profound gratitude for your generous support through the Jack Terry Memorial Scholarship. Thank you for believing in me and my potential. I am truly privileged to have been selected amongst countless deserving applicants. My academic journey has been marked by challenges, namely my mother's death. Yet, your investment in me has turned adversity into a remarkable opportunity. I am humbled by your trust and am determined to prove myself worthy of the confidence you've placed in me. As a first-year student at Texas Christian University, I will make the most of this educational opportunity. This scholarship will play a pivotal role in my aspirations to attend law school and fulfill my dream of advocating for children in the foster care system. As I navigate this journey, your generosity will continue to inspire me. I am beyond grateful for the doors you have opened for me. Your contribution has impacted my life and will empower me to serve others and make a difference in the world, one child at a time.
