Last year I was provided with a $1,000 scholarship on your behalf. I wanted
to send you an email once again thanking you for your donation. My first
year of college has been a wonderful experience, and I would like to share
some of it with you.
I joined a social sorority called Delta Zeta. This allowed me to meet many
amazing people and learn how to take on leadership roles that I had not
previously been comfortable doing. I became very involved in community
service and helped with raising money for our national philanthropy, the
Starkey Hearing foundation. I have enjoyed this experience so much that next
year I plan on living in the sorority house to further my involvement.

Along with joining a sorority, I decided I wanted to continue my lacrosse
career and joined the UNC Women's Club lacrosse team. Through this, I was
able to meet many people while also staying active. I have just recently
been elected treasurer for the upcoming season. I have many ideas in mind of
how to expand our team and create a stronger program, and I am excited to
implement them in the coming year!
This being said, I was busy this last school year from sorority meetings and
fundraising events to lacrosse practice four times a week. I did manage to
keep my grades up however. I ended the year with a 3.82 GPA. Some of my
classes included Advanced Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, and Statistics.
I have decided to continue to major in Sports Health and Exercise Science
with an emphasis in Human Performance and recently picked up a nutrition
minor. I have found a passion for health and fitness and I am excited to
pursue a career in this field in the future.
As for my health, I am still taking Humira, which is the medication that my
doctor prescribed to help with my eye disease, Pars Planitis. As I said
before, going into college I would just be starting the medication. In the
beginning it was a difficult adjustment, since it is a shot every two weeks
and can often cause some side effects. My body has adjusted to the
medication and it seems to be working well. I go to the eye doctor about
every month and in my last visit I was found to have no inflammation and no
changes, which is great news. We are hopeful that I will go into remission
after this next year of treatment.
I would just like to say thank you again for the donation from this
organization to my college education. I felt that it was important to inform
your organization of the success I have had this year partly due to the
scholarship I received.
