Living alone for two years has been a journey of resilience and self-discovery. After escaping an abusive relationship, I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis, enduring relentless spine pain. Doctors all advised surgery—a terrifying choice—but I refused to let fear define my future. I took the leap, faced the pain, and reclaimed my life. Now, with less pain, I embrace the future with hope.

My family in Mexico, especially my brother and his young daughter, fuel my determination. Despite financial struggles and past setbacks, faith, family, and education keep me grounded. Greenville Technical College was the right choice—its affordability, strong dental program, and Professor Tyler Jack’s class have been invaluable. Receiving a scholarship was life-changing, lifting a heavy burden and reaffirming my hard work.

My dream? To become a pediatric dental hygienist, giving children healthy, confident smiles. To those struggling—keep pushing. To those who support students like me—your generosity changes lives. My journey isn’t over, and I’m ready for what’s next.

I am deeply grateful to the generous donor who made this scholarship possible. Your support is more than financial relief—it’s a vote of confidence in my potential. Because of your kindness, I can focus on my studies and future goals without the weight of financial stress. Your generosity inspires me to work even harder and make the most of this opportunity. Thank you for investing in my education and future—you are truly making a difference in my life.”
