OUR DESTINY OUR FUTURE FOUNDATION'S SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

 Thank you so much for selecting my essay as the OUR DESTINY OUR FUTURE Scholarship winner. I am truly overjoyed! First I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone at the foundation involved in the scholarship process. With the ever-rising cost of college, this award will go a long way in furthering my education here at the University of Alabama and beyond. It comes at the perfect time as I am studying abroad this summer as part of my Spanish minor requirement. Words cannot express how humbled I am. 

 Thank you so much OUR DESTINY OUR FUTURE FOUNDATION for selecting me as a winner for this scholarship. This scholarship will allow me to cover funding for tuition and continue my active efforts of public service to my community!  

  Being a winner of this scholarship means the world to me. I've found myself stressing so much about my future scared that it wouldn't unfold how I want. But being awarded this scholarship is such an honor and a sign that Im getting so much closer to fulfilling my dream life. I'm so excited to see where my journey takes me, and I'm so happy to have Our Destiny Our Future Foundation on my side along my journey. 

 With the support of this scholarship, I can fulfill my dreams, complete my degree debt-free, and continue making a difference in the lives of others. I juggle multiple responsibilities, working two part-time jobs to cover my educational expenses. One of my jobs is as a bartender, often working until 3:00 a.m., while the other involves coaching students as early as 5:30 a.m. This demanding schedule compromises my sleep and hampers my cognitive function, affecting essential problem-solving and quick-thinking skills. Moreover, the limited time available for studying significantly impedes my academic progress. However, as the recipient of this scholarship, I can reduce my workload, allowing me to prioritize my studies, improve my cognitive abilities, and invest more time and energy into my fitness endeavors. The financial support provided by this scholarship will alleviate the demanding work schedule, allowing me to fully immerse myself in my coursework, engage in extracurricular activities related to my field, and seize opportunities for professional development. With the invaluable assistance of this scholarship, I can focus on my education, enhance my skills, and ultimately contribute to the fitness community in a more impactful way. Thank you for considering my application, and your support would be instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. I am beyond grateful to be selected as a winner! Thank you for your generosity! 

Earning this scholarship means more beyond words to me and my journey towards being in a better financial and academic position in my life. I feel more secure in attending Spelman College because an organization like yours has invested in my efforts and passions for community service initiatives and making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing me as a recipient and I will surely make your organization proud throughout my undergraduate journey and many more years in life of success and prosperity. ❤️
