Favorite aspect of being a Scholar in HSP:

My favorite aspect of being a Henderson scholar is getting to be with a group of people who are so inspired to make the change they want to see in the world and are driven to achieve their goals. Henderson Scholars is a refreshingly diverse place where everyone feels safe to be themselves and proud of who they are Seeing my favorite people gather each week to grow themselves and be vulnerable is truly inspiring to me
