my hope is to either work in a congressional office helping to draft legislation
or to work for a non-profit raising awareness for different issues i'm looking for a career in
automotive design i i've always liked cars in my mom's side there are many nurses in her side and
she's always encouraged me to be in that field as well and i've been exposed to it all my life and i
feel like i want to do it go a step up and become the first doctor in the family line i'm planning
on majoring in public policy and completing a markets and management certificate essentially a
second course of study in different business areas such as entrepreneurship finance consulting and
much more i'm planning on leaving my undergrad and pursuing something within consulting working with
business owners to help them grow their business and address their certain needs through problem
solving methods but i'm also very fascinated in entrepreneurship on the side so while i'm
working on my consulting career hopefully i can be working on my entrepreneurial pursuits
i've been working to save some money for it and my both my parents are teachers so that's not a it's
not a very high paying occupation but it's going to be important because it's the university i've
always wanted to go to so just going there is just exciting high point university is a
wonderful school and it's beautiful and everything but it definitely is pricey
at least for this year it should cover i think most of my room and board costs
so that includes my meal plan and at high point they include the price of laundry in
your room and board so it'll include that and yeah so it means a lot very important because
unc wild is a great school it's not a cheap school i can't wait to use that money so i can focus on
my studies more than on do i have enough money to pay this tuition do i have enough money to pay for
on these books you know stuff like that so it's incredible that i got this money books are
expensive dining is expensive tuition's expensive there's so many hidden costs as well just among
that so having this financial support is going to make a world of difference it's going to help me
pay off all my dining plan costs it's going to help me pay off my tuition it's going to
be a really big deal helping me buy books and supplies it's really going to change my life
in 2020 and 2021 of co of course with the coveted restrictions
um we were having conversations on the fact that we were not going to be able to fundraise
to raise the entire 17500 we're during these conversations in the last two years 2020 and 2021
mark ashley who is a past board chairman for the foundation overheard our conversations and thought
you know there's no way market america can allow this to happen and these folks get less money
or less of an opportunity to realize their dreams and go to college and so mark actually stepped up
and said you know what market america is going to put the entire 17 500 in the hands of the the
the foundation and let them award the entire scholarships to these students these deserving
high school students so we are most appreciative for our relationship with market america you know
you guys believe in the same thing we believe in and that's honesty and integrity and respect
and courtesy and trustworthiness every day it's the small things we do every day that
make a difference not only to businesses that we deal with for customers that we deal with
but also to high school seniors that we deal with and market america just has been an example of
being a courteous respectful trustworthy and ethical company in our community and
across the world so i would like to thank the market america and the unfranchise owners
for financially supporting the better business bureau's educational foundation and in particular
the donna easter ethics award for helping me attend nc state university with a whole lot
less student loans than that to pay off in the future market america and the unfranchise owners
for sponsoring this scholarship so that i can pursue my dream in becoming the first doctor
