Tell A Story Recent Winners Brenda Star Hometown: Brooklyn, NJ Drawing Date:June 20, 2012 At age ten, I was the little, illiterate Haitian Bahamian girl in the first grade. At the age of six, my parents sent me to live in Haiti with my grandparents who did not find it necessary to give me an education. When I returned to the Bahamas at the age of ten, I did not have the education to be placed in my regular grade level. Although I was ridiculed by the other students, I was determined to be the best that I can be. Named “Brenda Star” by my favorite teacher at the Catholic school that I attended, I was motivated to achieve the highest accolade. The determination to achieve success was further strengthened when I attended high school. In the tenth grade, a Dr. John Carey (the motivational speaker at the first day of school assembly) said, “Success does not come to you, you must go to it”. I have taken this law of life and made it my own. When I graduated from high school (2nd in my class) at the age of 20, it was not because I was a struggling learner; rather, it was because I started my journey later than my classmates.
Consequently, my life-long goal has been that I will be the best that I can be in any opportunity that I encounter. As a result of this scholarship, I will be able to accomplish my goal of reaching the highest pinnacle of my educational career. The funds received from this scholarship will help me to complete my education which I would not be able to do had I not received the scholarship. I am very grateful to be the recipient of Scholarship for Moms for the month of June. I will not only make my two children proud, but also, I will be better equipped to meet the academic needs of my classroom students.
Millions of Thank to BestEducationUSA.org!
Lynda Memino Hometown: Jersey City, NJ Drawing Date:January 05, 2013 Hi, My name is Lynda Memino; I am 19 years of age and attend AIPT Institute. I was born and raised here in Jersey City, which is a very beautiful place. I grew up in a house outside of town with my parents and my three sisters.
I am currently majoring in healthcare have always been a passion of mine since I was young. Although the program is starting to become challenging, I am enjoying it. The classes are very involved and detail oriented. I am also studying healthcare administration not only because I think it is very helpful but because I hope to one day own a medical billing business of my own.
I plan to put the money I was awarded towards studying healthcare education. One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world and study abroad and serve globally.
I cannot say thank you enough for this incredible gift.
Rebeka Richie Hometown:Lancaster, PA Drawing Date:August 15, 2013 This is such an amazing opportunity! I am a full time student and a full time worker and this scholarship is such a blessing. Not only does this help in the financial department, but it also helps with the ongoing mental question of how everything will get paid off! This money will definitely go a long way and help me continue in my schooling and fulfill my dreams of becoming a part of this country’s healthcare system! I came across www.BestEducationUSA.org and I figured “why not? It can’t hurt to try.” I never thought that I would be the winner of the $3,000 scholarship!! I plan on using this money to pay for my tuition, and also all of the necessities that come with being a full time student. Thank you so much!
Tiffany Swangeer Hometown:Queens, NY Drawing Date:October 26, 2013 My name is Tiffany Swangeer and I'm a 29 year old mother of two. My fiancé has been a great supporter of me returning to school and completing my goals. Returning to school was a priority for my family. I wanted to show them that nothing is impossible, so I decided to return to school. I was super excited to hear that I was selected as the winner of the $ 5,000 scholarship. I'm currently enrolled at Access Careers as a Medical Assistant student and working hard in completing my goals. Medical Assistant school can be expensive and this scholarship will help me pay for textbooks, tuition, pay down some of my student loans, and any extra costs. This money will help me reassure myself that things are looking up for me and reaching my goal to becoming a Registered Medical Assistant. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years and I love it but there comes a time in life that you have to set goals and accomplishments in life for yourself so what better way than to stay home with the kids and continue my education. I want them to be able to say my mom worked hard and do the same for themselves. Now days you need a higher education to make it in the world. I couldn't image life any other way, yes times do get tough and things may not look bright but keeping a positive attitude and having a strong support system will keep me on track. Thank you!!
