Bio

Hello! My name is Holly Silvers and I am a Senior at the University of NC at Greensboro. Currently immersed in my undergraduate journey, I'm passionately pursuing a Major in Speech Pathology as one of the top in my Communication Sciences and Disorders program, driven by my desire to uplift children's lives as a future Speech Pathologist. In addition, I'm furthering my knowledge of the intricate beauty of communication with a minor in American Sign Language, hoping to work closely with the deaf community. I'm also exploring the fascinating world of human behavior through a second minor in Psychology. The adventure doesn't end here; I'm already setting my sights on continuing my academic journey in graduate school, determined to deepen my knowledge and receive my CCC-SLP certification along with my master's degree. I'm currently the sole supporter of my education. Your generosity not only lightens the financial load but also fills me with boundless gratitude and motivation. Beyond the classroom, you'll find me soaking up the sunshine of life, cherishing moments with my wonderful family, cherished friends, sweet fiance, and my ever-joyful canine companion Romeo. They infuse every day with laughter, love, and inspiration. I believe that you should do everything with kindness and try to look at the positive in every situation. "Let all you do be done in love" - 1st Corinthians 16:14 Thank you for considering me for your scholarship.

    Bold Community Activist Scholarship
    Community activism is a powerful platform that everyone has access to. We all need to see change in our communities. The only way to jump start this uphill battle of change is by standing up for what we believe in. In this country we have freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest. Throughout history we see inspiring leaders using these outlets to create ripples that eventually led to a title wave of change in this world. I live in a very small town when I’m not at school. This small town is known as Bryson City North Carolina. Bryson is a very conservative, republican majority, and old fashioned town. They don’t take well to movements such as Black Lives Matter, Me Too, or Roe VS Wade. Therefore , it’s extremely important to spread true information. I have been a part of every minority rally and protest possible since I came of age to go myself. I helped my friend with a speech to speak on behalf of the non-racists in our high school. I have spent countless hours creating signs and melting in the sun to raise awareness at the rallies and show that minorities deserve representation. I will continue to help this community grow when I come back to visit during my time in school. I hope that this community will begin to turn around and speak against all racist and sexist behavior. We must keep fighting for change, quitting is the only way we can lose.
