The Jefferies Family Scholarship award offered me the opportunity to work in accord with others in a spirit of progressive cooperation in varied capacities, with reduced financial restraints. For this, my thankfulness is abundant. I will continue to be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community as I proudly embark on the journey of medical school. Thank you for your continued support and for playing a vital role in my academic and personal growth. I'm grateful for the chance the Jefferies Family Scholarship gave me to pursue goals that have given me confidence to try for the next. It has brought me one of the greatest medicines I hope to one day to administer to my patients.
