Impact

Receiving this scholarship has propelled my motivation to thrive for free education off of my own hard work. Receiving this scholarship has given me great pride, and it has enabled me to be a more active member in the KSS department. Having earned this scholarship filled me with an enormous amount of pride and joy. I consider myself a self-motivated person but receiving this scholarship has pushed my motivation even further to continue excelling academically, athletically, and socially. There is a special feeling of success and fulfillment that overwhelms a person when they accomplish something like winning a scholarship, and you were able to provide me with that emotion, and I am eternally grateful. I promise that your donation is contributing to a stable cause. A dream of mine that I’ve had since my freshmen year of high school was to attend college for free through my hard work academically and athletically. I love my family, and part of my dream was relieving them of helping me pay for college. They’ve given me so much already. It’s my turn to give back to them. Receiving this scholarship has brought me a step closer to that dream. And its provided me with an even greater drive to be great, to apply for more scholarships, and to continue studying hard. Although I haven’t exactly fulfilled that dream yet, I know the day will come when I’ll be as financially free as I can be. From here on, whenever I find myself in search for a kick of motivation to stay up later than I want to study or to put more effort in my work, I won’t have to look far because Ill have this scholarship to remind me what its all worth. There aren’t enough “thank you’s” in the world for me to thank you for your kindness in providing this scholarship; I am forever humbled and appreciative by you.
