I just wanted to thank you all so much for the gift. I was shocked and excited at the same time! I really appreciate you all for mentoring and teaching us to become better journalists.

I would just like to thank the Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals, INC. for selecting me to receive a scholarship this year. It really does mean a lot to me. It is nice knowing I have support from a group of journalists of which I respect greatly. As you all know, college is not cheap and every little bit counts. I hope to stay in touch throughout this year. Thank you again!
