"Receiving this scholarship allows me to focus on my education by lessening my financial burden. I hope to pay my tuition with minimal help from my parents, and because the scholarship covered a portion of my schooling, I am able to do so. I can now worry less about how I will be earning money to fund my studies. Also, it has kept me motivated to maintain a high GPA. Knowing that the West Pearl Harbor club is contributing to my education, I will engage in my courses with full effort to show that I am grateful to have their support. Most importantly, this scholarship has given me confidence as a student to continue pursuing my degree. It assures that I am on the right path to becoming a registered nurse. With the help of this scholarship, I am a step closer to achieving my goals, allowing me to have a bright vision for my future."
