Today, we handed the last scholarship checks to them. It was a bittersweet moment. How did these four years go by so quickly? I am beyond proud to witness how these young students persevered and excelled in their fields, despite the many challenges and difficulties they faced. I know without a doubt, these beautiful and strong ladies will shine and light the way for others.

The sky is the limit, ladies. I love you. I am blessed to have known you.
