As a single mother of three beautiful children—all under the age of 10—I have pursued my nursing career, which has come with many challenges, both emotional and financial. This scholarship is more than just financial assistance; it is a symbol of hope and encouragement that reminds me I am not alone on this journey. Your support is helping me move one step closer to becoming a nurse—a lifelong dream of mine that is rooted in a deep desire to care for others, just as I strive to care for my own children. The flexibility and relief this scholarship provides will allow me to focus more on my education and clinical training, while continuing to be present and supportive for my kids. Thank you for creating this opportunity and for the vision and compassion behind the Barrow Fresh Start Scholarship. Your investment in my future means more than words can express, and I hope to one day pay it forward and make a difference in someone else's life, just as you’ve made a difference in mine.
