My name is Susan Bagnall, and I am entering my junior year at Daytona State College. I am seeking a scholarship for the fall quarter of 2024. My educational objective is to graduate with a bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Psychology. I currently have a 3.59 GPA. I decided to go to college at the age of fifty-four after the sudden passing of my sixteen-year-old son from an aneurysm. He had a sporadic disease called an AVM. Only three percent who have this will pass from them rupturing. Over the years, I have connected with the head of the AVM foundation to learn more about this monster that usually takes the lives of many of our children. It made me realize how precious life is and how it can change in the blink of an eye. With my degree, I desire to bring more awareness to families and physicians. I was blessed to have had two amazing sons—Tyler, my oldest, and Brandon, who was three years younger. Tyler had just come home from the Navy one week before Christmas the night his brother was found in my bathroom. He was the one who saw him on my floor that evening. My passion for organ donation is personal. When I was told my son was brain dead, the first thing that came to my mind was saving others. My son Brandon saved five individuals, and the relationships I have made with these recipients remain to this day. Their compassion and gratefulness are astonishing. With my degree, I plan to incorporate the need to become a donor to save others. In my free time, I am active in my church. Meeting new people and connecting with them is a source of therapy. I spend a lot of time with my grandson when I am not in school. He has healed my heart in more ways than I can say. Receiving this scholarship will enable me to continue my path. Since the passing of my son, I have had multiple autoimmune diseases. Three years ago, I had to leave the dentistry field I was in for thirty-three years. It required me to go on disability. Disability is a difficult way of life financially. With the help of scholarships, I can focus on my school and enter the work field again. I aim to help as many mothers and families as possible with loss. There is a great need for this. I know from personal experience. My education has been a transformative journey, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to make a difference. As an author, I envision using public speaking to address the child loss crisis and provide therapy for families to heal from such an unimaginable event. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to apply for this scholarship, which will enable me to continue this path of service and healing. I appreciate your consideration of this scholarship. My goals are heartfelt and knowing there is a need for outreach to families keeps me going.

I decided to go to college at the age of fifty-four after the sudden passing of my sixteen-year-old son from an aneurysm. He had a sporadic disease called an AVM. Only three percent who have this will pass from them rupturing. Over the years, I have connected with the head of the AVM foundation to learn more about this monster that usually takes the lives of many of our children. It made me realize how precious life is and how it can change in the blink of an eye. With my degree, I desire to bring more awareness to families and physicians. I was blessed to have had two amazing sons—Tyler, my oldest, and Brandon, who was three years younger. Tyler had just come home from the Navy one week before Christmas the night his brother was found in my bathroom. He was the one who saw him on my floor that evening. My passion for organ donation is personal. When I was told my son was brain dead, the first thing that came to my mind was saving others. My son Brandon saved five individuals, and the relationships I have made with these recipients remain to this day. Their compassion and gratefulness are astonishing. With my degree, I plan to incorporate the need to become a donor to save others. In my free time, I am active in my church. Meeting new people and connecting with them is a source of therapy. I spend a lot of time with my grandson when I am not in school. He has healed my heart in more ways than I can say. Receiving this scholarship will enable me to continue my path. Since the passing of my son, I have had multiple autoimmune diseases. Three years ago, I had to leave the dentistry field I was in for thirty-three years. It required me to go on disability. Disability is a difficult way of life financially. With the help of scholarships, I can focus on my school and enter the work field again. I aim to help as many mothers and families as possible with loss. There is a great need for this. I know from personal experience. My education has been a transformative journey, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to make a difference. As an author, I envision using public speaking to address the child loss crisis and provide therapy for families to heal from such an unimaginable event. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to apply for this scholarship, which will enable me to continue this path of service and healing. I appreciate your consideration of this scholarship. My goals are heartfelt and knowing there is a need for outreach to families keeps me going.

Only three percent who have this will pass from them rupturing. Over the years, I have connected with the head of the AVM foundation to learn more about this monster that usually takes the lives of many of our children. It made me realize how precious life is and how it can change in the blink of an eye. With my degree, I desire to bring more awareness to families and physicians. I was blessed to have had two amazing sons—Tyler, my oldest, and Brandon, who was three years younger. Tyler had just come home from the Navy one week before Christmas the night his brother was found in my bathroom. He was the one who saw him on my floor that evening. My passion for organ donation is personal. When I was told my son was brain dead, the first thing that came to my mind was saving others. My son Brandon saved five individuals, and the relationships I have made with these recipients remain to this day. Their compassion and gratefulness are astonishing. With my degree, I plan to incorporate the need to become a donor to save others. In my free time, I am active in my church. Meeting new people and connecting with them is a source of therapy. I spend a lot of time with my grandson when I am not in school. He has healed my heart in more ways than I can say. Receiving this scholarship will enable me to continue my path. Since the passing of my son, I have had multiple autoimmune diseases. Three years ago, I had to leave the dentistry field I was in for thirty-three years. It required me to go on disability. Disability is a difficult way of life financially. With the help of scholarships, I can focus on my school and enter the work field again. I aim to help as many mothers and families as possible with loss. There is a great need for this. I know from personal experience. My education has been a transformative journey, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to make a difference. As an author, I envision using public speaking to address the child loss crisis and provide therapy for families to heal from such an unimaginable event. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to apply for this scholarship, which will enable me to continue this path of service and healing. I appreciate your consideration of this scholarship. My goals are heartfelt and knowing there is a need for outreach to families keeps me going.

As a child of parents who immigrated from Europe, life was different than for many of my friends. My parents were extremely strict in many ways that my friends did not have. My father came from Hungary and my mother from Germany. Two of my brothers were born in Germany then ten years later came my next brother and I was the last of four. When I was one year old my oldest brother got married. Growing up I had a niece just three years younger than me. We were like sisters. One of my greatest experiences was when I was taught German at an early age. In my home, German was the language we spoke. Our holiday reflected that of German traditions. Looking back on my childhood I would change it. If I could walk in anyone's shoes for one day, it would be my son Brandon. Brandon was the kindest, sweetest soul. The thought of being able to see the world through his eyes would be such a gift. He never met a stranger. The ways he touched others in his short sixteen years are astonishing. My name is Susan. I am in my second year at Daytona State College and have a GPA of 3.56. In 2012 the unimaginable happened to me when I lost my sixteen-year-old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. He had what is called an AVM. They affect young males between the ages of 12 to 24. Last year, after ten years of losing Brandon, I decided to make a change in my life to help other parents who lost their children. I was in dentistry for over 32 years. My passion is to help other parents who have lost children. That is when I decided to go to college to get a degree in English and psychology. I plan to work with the AVM foundation and draft a book. I have shared my story of Brandon’s passing to multiple people through my church. Scholarships are critical for me to continue my school path. Since the loss of my son, I have had to focus on what is best for me and others. With the aid of help from scholarships, I can continue school and not worry about finances. I do hope you will consider me as a candidate and know how much I appreciate it. My son was a Christian and the kindest soul I will ever meet. He is deeply missed by all his family and friends.

My name is Susan Bagnall. In the summer of 2022, I decided to make a change in life and go to college at the age of fifty-four. This came ten years after losing my younger son Brandon suddenly to a ruptured cerebral hemorrhage known as an AVM. He was only sixteen years old. This exceedingly rare disease affects so many of our young children, especially boys between the ages of 7-22. I had never heard of this monster and never in my mind did I ever imagine this happening to me and my family. He was such a kind young man and believed in God from an incredibly early age. He never met a stranger and always tried to make others laugh. He continues to shine through his family and friends. I got a scholarship in his name for the graduating class of his year. Just three weeks prior to his passing Brandon decided to get rebaptized in the ocean after being on a retreat in our church. This was just one of the many signs I can look at today and know he was here for just a brief time but had such a significant impact on others. On the night he passed his older brother Tyler who was in the Navy and was coming home for the holidays. It wasn’t even thirty minutes after returning home from the airport that Tyler found his brother on my bathroom floor unresponsive. I always remembered taking CPR and the instructor would say if we ever had to do CPR on anyone it would be a family member. I never realized how true that statement would be. Later after being transferred to Orlando Children’s Hospital on life support, we told the horrible news that my baby’s brain had no activity. He was brain dead. Honestly, I couldn't believe what I had just heard. We immediately decided to donate organs to help save others. Something I knew Brandon would have done if he could have spoken to us himself. One thing I will pursue with my degree is to help aid the information of AVMs in our communities. One of the foundations is AVM awareness and is in San Francisco. I plan to use my degree to speak for the ones we have lost and to show kindness and compassion. These are some of the characteristics my son lived by. He continues to live on in so many of his friends and family. Please consider me as a recipient for your scholarship knowing it will go to a momentous change in many others who desperately need it. After going through such an unimaginable event in my life, I finally decided to go to college to further my education so that I could help others deal with the loss of a child and other family members. I’m currently doing all my prerequisites so I can go into communication and public speaking. This way I can bring about awareness of AVM’s and help the foundation dedicated to bringing education to others. I am a single mom and the help from others will be of such importance to making a difference to many future generations. I look forward to the day I can say, " I made this person's life just a bit better by showing I care!" Many kindness and blessings, Susan

Mental health has been in issue in my family for generations. My mother suffered and so did my brother with this illness. They have since passed. My life forever changed when I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2012. After losing my son I have had to deal with mental health and the effect it has done to my body. I never understood how someone could be depressed. But in 2012 that all changed for me. I deal with this on a daily basis now. It has effected my relationships with my friends and family. When I feel the feeling of depression come on I try so hard to fight it but in the end it takes over my mind and body. My goals have changed over the years and dealing with the loss of my son. I decided this summer to further my education and go to college. By doing this I plan on helping others with mental health issues, especially those who have lost a child and are living with this constant grief. I now understand more about mental health and even what both my mother and brother went through years ago. By taking my son Brandon with me on this new journey I know God is leading me where I need to be. Showing kindness to others was what Brandon did on a daily basis. The effect on his passing has also effected his friends which is also something I plan on helping with. I didn't understand the effect this could have caused them and to his brother Tyler my older son. Tyler has also suffered mental health issues since losing his brother. He was in the Navy at the time and had come home for the holidays the night he found his brother in my bathroom just minutes after returning home from the airport. By receiving this scholarship, it will help me continue on with college and graduate with a degree to serve as a voice to so many others suffering with mental illness. Thank you for allowing me to share my story of my son Brandon. Susan

I have always had at least one fur baby. I am a 54 year old women going back to college. In 2012 I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a brain aneurysm. I had a Border Collie named Jaeger who is still with me today. She is my soul mate. Brandon and her were so connected and when he passed that dog has never left my side. Last year she turned 12 and a vet told me she had only 2 weeks to live. All my feelings of losing my son came back to me. I just wasn't ready to say goodbye. Now 10 months later she is still with me following me and giving me unconditional love. With the love and care I have given her I know when her time comes she will be with my son again. There have been many dogs I have owned all having a special meaning in my life. I had a Golden Retriever that would lay on Brandon before he passed. She was huge!! But now I know she felt something was wrong with him even though I had no idea. I lost her at the age of 7 and did everything in my power to save her. In the end I knew her time with me was to be a healer. She helped me along with Jaeger to get through the most difficult time in my life. Thank you for letting me share just a few fur babies I've been blessed to have in my life. Susan

Mental health has had a very personnel effect on my life. I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm in 2012. I have had many health issues from this trauma to my body. I have had multiple counselors in the past and it has led me to going back to school in order to write a book and to also help others who have gone through such a loss. It is so important to take care of yourself mentally and I feel there aren't enough mental health experts out there who truly care and understand the meaning of loss. Especially a child. I plan on doing public speaking and taking my son Brandon with me every day. By going back to school at the age of 54 is an amazing next journey for me. I am a single women with a goal of showing kindness and compassion to those of need. To take care of themselves so later down the line there bodies and minds are healthy. Thank you for letting me share my journey. Know if I receive this scholarship it will go toward my education in helping others.

The book that has transformed my life is the Bible. I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm in 2012. His faith in God and his kindness has kept me going all these years. The Bible is the book I find comfort in knowing I will be with my baby again one day. Brandon's faith was so inspiring to so many. He touched the lives of so many other children and even helped them find God. With this scholarship it will help me continue his legacy by helping other parents who have also lost children. I plan on writing a book and also further studying the Bible to speak about life and how you can live even though going through the loss of your child. Thank you for letting me share my journey

My name is Susan and I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. He was my baby and the horrific loss I experienced has made me a better person. The kindness and love he showed me in the short 16 years has led me to pursue a career in helping others who have lost a child or loved one. I know this will be a challenging next chapter, but I will carry my son with me every day. He is my motivation to writing a book and becoming a public speaker to carry on his legacy. He saved five lives and continues to live through them. I was blessed to have met three of his recipients and still have contact with them today.

I am a 54 year old divorced woman returning to school after losing my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. My son Brandon was a beautiful christian who loved life. He was my baby and he always had the biggest smile and was always kind to anyone he met. His older brother Tyler was in the Navy and was returning home for Christmas the night he passed. We had just gotten home from the airport and Tyler found his brother on my bathroom floor unresponsive. When I walked in that room all I remember was to start CPR on my baby. I never thought this horrible nightmare would ever happen to me. My life as I knew it had changed forever. Brandon was able to donate life to five others by donating organs. It is exactly how he would have wanted it and I knew it the minute the doctor told me his brain had no activity. Ten years later I finally started coming out of this fog I was living in. I knew that going back to school would be a challenge but I knew in order for me to help others and write a book I've so wanted to over the years I needed to go back to school. I am attending college so I can educate and be a voice to all the children and family members that have left us. I plan on going further in my faith also by transferring to a Christian college so I can incorporate this into my speaking I plan on doing. I am very excited in this next chapter in my life and I will carry my son with me every step of the way. Thank you for letting me share my journey with you. I hope you consider me as a recipient of this amazing scholarship knowing I will use the gift to further my education to be able to help others. Blessings, Susan Bagnall forever Brandon's mom

I’ve grown in the past year by putting myself first. I lost my 16 year old son suddenly to a ruptured cerebral hemorrhage in 2012. It honestly is the hardest thing I’ve ever have been through. These past ten years have been a struggle for me. I’ve grown so much since then and me finally deciding to help others through my life’s lessons is my goal in going to college. Im faith driven and know I can be of help to so many other parents dealing with this horrific new “normal”. Thank you for your time. Blessings Sue

Previous Next Add sports Bio 7x your chances of winning with perfect grammar. My goals in life at my age are clear. In 2012, I lost my 16-year-old son Brandon suddenly to a ruptured AVM in his cerebellum. He was my baby and my life. He brought so much happiness to everyone he met. He is remembered for his smile and how he always made people laugh. I carry him with me daily and therefore I am on the path I am currently on. Over the last ten years, I've had a full neck fusion which has also in turn made me leave my career of 32 years in dentistry. A job I so loved and was exceptionally good at. Also due to the trauma of losing my son my body has multiple autoimmune diseases. I struggled for many years until this last summer when I decided to go to college. I lost my father when I was 16 years old, and then my mom when I was thirty-four. My son when I was forty-four and then my oldest brother when I turned fifty. I took care of my mom and my brother until the end. I've been where many others are and are going to be. My goal is to get an education that not only helps me but helps many others. That's why I've decided to write a book. Not just any book, but one that helps with all the emotions and the "what if's". My faith has driven me to where I am today. Without it I'm not sure if I'd be here writing to you all. My Brandon was a christian. Just to share a quick story about how God took care of him. Just three weeks before he went home, my son got baptized in the ocean after going on a retreat. So, this is the driving force behind my education. I want to touch as many people as I can while I am here. To help and show as much kindness as I can.
