Elite Achievers 2024 Scholarship Recipient
Growing up I was taught the strength of commitment and dedication. Raised in a hardworking family, I learned early on the values of resilience and perseverance from my parents. Their relentless work ethic, despite the struggles we faced, has been a guiding light in my own life.
In high school, I was driven by a passion for both academics and lacrosse. When I was awarded a scholarship to attend St. Vincent Pallotti High School, it felt like a chance for a fresh start. I embraced this opportunity with hope and renewed energy. But life took a heart-wrenching turn when my mother tragically passed away in an accident. In an instant, I lost not only my mother but also the stability of the home that had been my sanctuary.
The days following that devastating loss were a blur of grief and disbelief. Yet, amidst the overwhelming sadness, I made a choice: to honor my mother’s memory by pushing forward. I continued to excel academically and worked tirelessly toward my dream of playing collegiate lacrosse. When financial barriers blocked my path to Mars Hill University, I felt the weight of my dreams slipping away. But I refused to let go.
I enrolled at Howard Community College, determined to forge ahead despite facing financial strain and personal hardship. Living on my own, working tirelessly, and trying to stay focused on my studies, I grappled with deep feelings of isolation and exhaustion. Yet, each small step I took was fueled by the hope of a brighter future.
As I start my first semester this Fall at Towson University, I am filled with both hope and anticipation. I am eager to major in Communications and become a paramedic, a path inspired by my mother’s legacy and my desire to make a difference in the lives of others. My journey has been marked by both heartache and resilience, and I am deeply grateful for any support that will help me build a future filled with purpose and promise.
