I am honored to be the recipient of the Robert Clinton Memorial Scholarship and I thank you for your generous support. The loss of my mother changed the way I view life. It made me consider the kind of impact I want to have in my personal and professional life. I want to advocate for and carry out solutions that will improve the lives of others. I am extremely grateful for this scholarship and excited to see what my upcoming semester abroad has to offer.
