Support: Scholarship

Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming the kind of teacher who could see the light in every student—even when they couldn’t see it themselves.

Too many children grow up without a strong support system, and I want to be that steady, encouraging voice that reminds them they matter. Every child deserves someone who believes in them, and that’s the role I’m determined to fill.

My 7th-grade English teacher, Hope Stone, changed my life by recognizing my potential when I didn’t recognize it myself. She taught me that your past doesn’t define your future—it’s your perseverance that shapes it. Her faith in me continues to guide how I show up for others every single day.

µþ²¹±ô²¹²Ô³¦¾±²Ô²µÌýwork, school, and single parenthood has been far from easy, but this scholarship reminds me that I’m not alone. It’s a lifeline—a sign that others believe in my dream, too. With your support, I can keep moving forward—one lesson, one child, and one bright future at a time.

I am honored, humbled, and deeply grateful for this scholarship. Thank you for believing in me—I promise this opportunity will not go to waste.
