“This scholarship means the world to me. Deciding to go back to school as an adult has been a big challenge. However, I have made this decision for not just myself and my future, but also for my children and their future. I want to shed light on the fact that we (anyone) can be and do whatever they have their heart set on. I stress the fact that nothing is impossible and to always reach for their dreams. It is never too late to make a change for the better. Graduating with my degree will be all my proof.”
