I thought high school would never end, but as the end of my senior year got closer I began to get nervous. I had to go to college; there was no doubt about that. It was the transition from high school to college that was intimidating. Just the idea of all the paperwork made my head hurt. I met Rebecca Smith at my high school during a scholarship session. She was so helpful. She made the entire process a whole lot easier. Not only did she help me with the FASFA, she also told me about the Together We Can Scholarship. From day one, she has been a great encourager, and she is always willing to listen and lend a helping hand. Being awarded the Together We Can Scholarship allowed me the opportunity to attend college and I will be the first grandchild to graduate from a four year university. The Scholarship Program at the Community Foundation has been a true blessing to me.
I currently attend The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga . I will be graduating August 2006 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I plan to attend graduate school to receive my M.ED in Counseling. My goal is to become a middle and high school guidance counselor.
