The Young Family Foundation scholarship has been a blessing to me, my college career, and my life in so many ways. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for this amazing opportunity. For my first and second years of college, I am attended Wharton County Junior College. I then transferred to Texas A&M University for two years where I planned to graduate with a Psychology degree with a Pre-Med background. After graduating from Texas A&M, my goal was to get accepted into a Medical School and earn a Psychiatry degree. This scholarship helped me make my dreams and goals possible. I am truly grateful to be honored with this wonderful and unbelievable opportunity.
