I am honored to be a Morelli Scholar in this final year of my academia. This honor, means I have made the correct choice. A choice that is authentic and considered unfavorable. It’s a reflection that means more than what ‘could be’ or ‘should’ve been’ better. Instead exists a more present honor; ‘You’ define craftsmanship of true intellectuality. This means going far beyond the standards of common work ethics. An honor that can only be understood by humanity and not the devices they create. The support ensured here, has helped me flourish. I have a duty now to hold these memories dearly. As it will be a shaped honor to donate back to the scholarship program which lifted me to my career.
