Foundation Scholarship Recipient Angelica Wilson

Hello, my name is Angelica Unique Wilson, one of many very grateful scholarship recipients. I would like to start by saying thank you, I know that you don’t always see the impact that your donations make, but know that without your support I wouldn’t be writing you today.

I am a single mother, and I couldn’t have imagined how challenging that would be. I maintained a strong GPA in high school and graduated with honors before earning acceptance into Valley’s nursing program. I earned high grades, but I struggled terribly, I was financially stressed. I was working part-time to keep a roof over my child’s head, going to school full-time and trying to be a great mother. The funds that I have received helped tremendously and because of you, those funds provided safe and quality childcare at a licensed facility so that I was able to attend classes and clinical for an entire semester and in addition, my tuition, books and required nursing program supplies were covered. I am willing to put in the work, I have the dream, ambition, passion, focus, and determination but what I don’t have is funding.

Because of you, I know that achieving my goals is not only important to me, but it is also important to you, you care about my success. With your help, I will be the first person in my family to earn a college degree. I plan to complete my doctorate degree and become a family nurse practitioner. Words cannot express the gratitude that is felt, so I will show you how thankful I am with hard work, being an active member in the community, and someday giving back to others in need. In a world where you could be or do anything, thank you for being selfless, thoughtful and kind.
