I am deeply honored to be selected as the recipient of the Kathleen L. Small Teaching Scholarship. This award is not just financial support; it is the encouragement I needed to continue my journey to becoming an educator in California. Knowing that this scholarship was created in memory of your mother, a lifelong educator, makes it even more meaningful to me. Her legacy, through your generosity, serves as an inspiration to dedicate myself fully to the teaching profession and positively impact the lives of students, just as she did. Thank you for believing in and supporting aspiring teachers like me. I’m already so much closer now to achieving my goal, and this has been such a big help!
