“Community service has been a primary factor in my personal growth throughout high school, allowing me to create meaningful connections with those around me to make positive change. Being a recipient of the Aurora Gateway Rotary Presidential Scholarship is not only an honor, but a reflection of my teachers and peers who continue to provide guidance and encouragement. Their support has inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare-particularly pediatrics or radiology, where I can give back to my community. This scholarship plays a crucial role in closing the financial gap as I pursue my undergraduate degree. It will lift the financial burden on both my parents and myself, allowing me to focus on my studies and goals. Thank you for investing in us students, and empowering us to power our potential. Your support is not only helping us excel academically, but is also inspiring us to give back and continue making a difference.”
