What has your scholarship meant to you and how has it enabled you to pursue new and exciting opportunities?

My scholarship helped me pay off debt to my parents, and also allowed me to take a volunteer position I was interested in instead of being forced to work a paid job I wasn't as excited about.

Why did you choose to attend the University of Maryland, what makes this place special to you and what is your favorite part of being a Terp?

I chose to attend the University of Maryland because of the proximity, reasonable cost, and a solid liberal education.

How will you make a positive difference in the world?

I will listen.
