Recipient of the Bill Spaniol Memorial Scholarship

When I learned that I had won the Bill Spaniol Memorial Scholarship, I found myself singing a鈥 You鈥檒l Never Walk Alone鈥 the anthem of Liverpool football club, this is a song my father often played on his guitar and a song that is very dear to me. The lyrics鈥emind me that no matter where you go, how hard and discouraging life gets, and how lonely you might feel鈥here are always people with big hearts who are there to help you out of the goodness of their hearts.

This scholarship came at a time when I felt drained, discouraged and afraid of the future. From there, I found] myself in a community of selfless, ambitious and strong people. A people of vision, a people of hope and a people who help each other. I too hope I can live up to this greatness and give back to people regardless of how much or how little I have. To the donors of the Bill Spaniol Memorial Scholarship, thank you very much for this award, I am humbled and honored to be a recipient of this scholarship. I have a wide range of interests and a lot of dreams which I am working hard to make true, and your help only strengthens my chances of achieving them and bringing value to the world.
