Who inspires you: I think my Grandad inspired me the most. He was always someone very close to me. He had some rough patches in his life, but that never stopped him. He served in the navy in between the Korean and Vietnam wars. He was very proud of his Irish heritage, and that has carried through to me, where I try my best to honor him every day. He was a very caring man, and I hope that I can do well and follow in his footsteps.
What the scholarship means to me: This scholarship means the world to me. I am very passionate about my education, and getting this scholarship helps me to fund such an education. This lessens the financial burden that me and my family will experience, and for that I am ever grateful.
