☀️ Good morning, everyone! This week marks our final scholarship feature! 🤩
Meet Gracie Wells, who is on the Pre-Med track at the College of the Holy Cross. She runs her own baking business too! 🧁
“I learned to walk in the St. Mary’s Hallway. I learned to read and write within the same yellow brick walls, but I didn’t just learn, I fell in love. As I went from stumbling over words in Magic Treehouse books to tearing through Percy Jackson, I was enthralled with how much there was out there for me to learn. I can still picture myself sitting in my third grade classroom, struggling through my times tables, can still feel the adrenaline I felt when we got pop quizzes in eighth grade science. Those moments were all just the beginning of what has now become my life. Holy Cross is everything that little me, toddling around the St. Mary’s hallways could have dreamt of. I truly cannot wait to start my next era on The Hill, where I will discover all the things I have ever wanted to learn and work steadily towards my goal of becoming a physician. Being awarded the Northern Lake George Foundation Scholarship makes all of these dreams that have slowly grown from multiplication to medical terminology more accessible. It is a great comfort to know that there are so many people in this community who are not only rooting for me but also supporting me on my next journey.” - Gracie
