"I want to start out by saying how thankful I am to have received the Florida Ground Water Association scholarship. I am extremely proud of the work that my grandfather and uncle have done through this organization. This scholarship is an investment in the lives of people connected through their line of work. Investments in young people’s lives that will inspire them that they can continue working hard to achieve their dreams. Without support from scholarships like this one, college would be nearly impossible to pay for without loans. I will forever be grateful for the people who believe in me enough to invest in my future. Education is one of the most important things in life and will be the beginning of a bright future. Thank you for believing in me."
