“This scholarship has motivated me to keep being active in school. It also made me realize people do get recognized mainly when they shine through their passion. For instance, I love volunteering and Mr. Patrick Chang helped me be recognized for it. Not only does this scholarship help me pay for a part of my tuition but I gained life experience because of my volunteer work.” Jesenia Chamarro
