How has The Young Scholars Program supported your talents and educational journey?

I was selected for the program two years ago, when I was completing 7th grade. Because of the Young Scholars Program, I have been able to take advantage of numerous opportunities that normally would not have been available to me, i.e. voice lessons and summer activities. The Young Scholars Program has impacted my life exponentially in all that it has allowed me to be a part of. The program also included a week at Georgetown University last summer, which was more valuable to me than I could possibly express. It was the first experience I'd had with people who were truly interested in improving the world through personal achievements. I left Washington DC with a new sense of hope, reassured that I was not the only young person passionate about academics and important issues such as religion and politics; not the only young person with a strong desire to someday change the world.

Thoughts about being a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Young Scholar:

I am very proud to be a Young Scholar, and I am grateful for all that the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has given me. I feel as if I have an advantage over other high school students because I can pursue anything I am interested in without putting a financial burden on my family. I have been given the power to develop myself more than the average high school student, and I am dedicated to using this power to its full potential.
