WinnerBio
I am Trekayla Clemmons and have a strong drive to pursue my dreams of becoming a creative content provider. I plan to start up my own small clothing business as well as become a social media influencer and a brand ambassador. I am from Seattle and will stay in the city for college. I will be the first in my family to graduate and have such admiration for my mother who is on her own and works to support me and my sister. I see how she has developed strong devotion to help others by continuing to coach basketball, first at the community college level and now at AAU.
I am working full time to try and afford school and pursue my heart's destiny. I am registered to attend Seattle Central Community College beginning Fall 2021.
In overcoming so many obstacles in my life, I have learned that challenges are my greatest friend. I learn the most from them and have come to understand the power of perseverance. Surviving and graduating during Covid was a unique challenge for our generation, but it has prepared me to fade adversity and to survive and to become a role model to help others succeed as I am going to.

The Heart of the Game Scholarship
WinnerI am pursuing heart in my life to fulfill a passion to become a business leader and entrepreneur. The "heart of the game" to me is to always strive to help others in whatever situation I find myself in. I graduated from Roosevelt High School and am now a freshman to be at Seattle Central College. The Heart of the Game is a very important movie to me because it is a great example on how important it is to follow your heart and passion as you face the many difficult obstacles in life.
I also appeared in the movie as a small child! And each time I watch it as I got older I realize how heart-driven Darnellia Russell really is and how she continued to work throughout high school and beyond to overcome adversity. She could have given up many times along the path but didn’t. That has become a role model for me. I will persevere. I will keep putting myself back in the game until I achieve my dreams.
The main pursuit in my life that I am passionate about is to become a creative content creator and brand ambassador for socially conscious clothing lines that primarily support women. I have started my own YouTube channel up and I make vlogs when I travel and meet other fascination people and change makers. As the movie shows I will also continuously build my “inner circle” of friends and associates to create a strong team around me to support my endeavors. I have learned we cannot make it in life alone.
Once I get my associates degree in business at Seattle Central College and hopefully move on to a four-year college after that (finances allowing), I will start up my own small clothing business that I will promote across my robust social platforms. No matter how the game unfolds in my life, having a knowledge of business and accounting and management will help me become the leader I know I can become.
This scholarship is important to me because right now I am working full tine to afford to go to school. I want to have the opportunity to develop the tools so that I can be the one hiring others. I want to build a business that at its core can help others in the world.
I will be the first in my family to graduate and have such admiration for my mother who is on her own and works to support me and my sister. I see how she has developed strong devotion to help others by continuing to coach basketball, first at the community college level and now at AAU.
In overcoming so many obstacles in my life, I have learned that challenges are my greatest friend. I learn the most from them and have come to understand the power of perseverance. Surviving and graduating during Covid was a unique challenge for our generation, but it has prepared me to face adversity and to survive and to become a role model to help others succeed as I am going to. It is all about heart and adapting and staying true to myself going forward. Thank you!
