Jacqueline ZavalaPasco High School Student
enrolling to Pasco-HernandoState College, Class of PHS 2021
Dear WREC Educational Foundation, Inc.,I am sincerely beyond honored to be one of the recipients chosen for this Scholarship.
Thanks to your generous support I will be the very first in my family to attend college. I appreciate the generosity of $12,000 in which it will definitely be helping me out a lot in the matter of finances.
I am a Pasco High School student that graduated with their CNA and a CMAA certificate. I plan to pursue a career in the medical field in order to have my prerequisites over with in the fall of 2021. After doing so, I will continue my education into getting my Bachelor’s and possibly Master’s Degree as a Pediatric RN. Thanks to you, I am one step closer to that goal. I am committed to invest my all to prove how dedicated and appreciated I am with the WREC Educational Foundation Scholarship that was offered to me.
By awarding me with this Scholarship, I personally was enlightened in a way. In the near future I want to give back to the community and help others out just like everyone that was in-volved in making this scholarship happen, in order to help future student’s achieve their goals.
Sincerely,Jacqueline Zavala, Class of 2021 - Pasco High School
