“Thank you so very much to the CCA for awarding me this scholarship. Those long Wednesday nights sitting at union meetings are a core memory that shaped my view of the world and inspired me thanks to being introduced to the legal system at such a young age. Since then, I decided to become heavily involved in community service and be an advocate for affordable and accessible mental health. I can’t wait to embark on my journey at St. John’s University so I can implement these ideas and I further my education and enter the world.”
