Personal Statement
I am honored to receive this award on behalf of Rogers State University because I am passionate about serving this campus and community. My faith, education, and experiences with those in need have all contributed to my passion for combating injustice and pushing to meet the needs of underprivileged individuals. I am inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s idea that “we must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” I will use this opportunity to continue serving the campus and community while inspiring other students to do the same. My education has highlighted the importance of encouraging people to use their strengths to serve others. Everyone is capable of making a positive impact, but it is together that we can make significant changes for good.
