I’m thrilled to receive this scholarship, and I feel grateful for all of the support of my family, friends, teachers, and the Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation. This program has greatly helped my educational journey, and words can’t express how happy I am to have the opportunity to continue my studies. College has been tough, but by getting new equipment for my upcoming classes, I’m confident that I can overcome them. As a first-generation college student, it’s important to reach my goal to support my family, who have gone above and beyond for me.
