I made it through the first year in college and the experience has been wonderful. I am planning to internship next summer when I have taken more classes needed for my career.

Thanks for the scholarship HOGAR awarded me. I am proud to tell you that your money was not wasted. After I receive my degree, I look forward in helping my own community like you guys do.
